A DIFFERENT WAY TO DO TUCSON.

The Out of the Jewel Box Experience offers an alternative to the traditional Tucson trade show experience. It was never created to compete with Tucson's established shows, but rather to complement them.

Our more intimate format brings together a curated group of exhibitors and attendees in a relaxed, professional environment designed for showcasing product, meeting clients, making new connections and doing business.

When attendees need a break, the OJB is the perfect place to sit down, grab a coffee, connect with colleagues and recharge before heading back into the chaos.

LOCATION MATTERS.

Located at the historic Tucson Scottish Rite Cathedral, OJB is ideally situated within a five-minute walk of the Tucson Convention Center and AGTA GemFair. That proximity makes it easy for exhibitors and their teams to make OJB their Tucson home base while still taking part in meetings, events and other shows happening throughout the week.

With your showcase staffed throughout show hours, members of your team have the flexibility to move between OJB and other Tucson commitments, meet clients throughout the city and experience everything Tucson has to offer.

For attendees, OJB is an easy addition to their day: a place to discover new exhibitors, meet with suppliers, shop, network, grab a coffee or simply take a break between shows. Ultimately, the OJB Experience is designed to complement the Tucson show experience, while giving your company a professional and consistent presence throughout the week.

A SPACE TO DO BUSINESS AND TO BREATHE.

Not every conversation needs to happen standing in front of a showcase.

Our lounge provides a comfortable place for attendees and exhibitors to meet, work, network or simply take a breather from the pace of Tucson.

Meet with a client. Have a conversation with someone new. Catch up with an industry friend. Get some work done or simply sit down for a few minutes. It's a space designed to be used.

A PROFESSIONAL TUCSON HOME BASE.

OJB is particularly well suited to companies looking for a professional and secure place to meet clients and showcase goods without the time or financial commitment of a larger traditional trade show.

Rather than showcasing goods from a hotel room or searching for an appropriate place to meet clients, OJB gives your company a dedicated presence in the heart of Tucson's show activity. Exhibitors are expected to have their showcase staffed throughout show hours, while additional team members have the flexibility to attend meetings, visit other shows and participate in everything happening around Tucson.

For jewellery brands, gemstone suppliers and other members of the trade, it's a flexible and professional way to conduct business, make new connections and nurture existing relationships

SHOW SCHEDULE.

February 3, 2027 - Wednesday (Opening Day)

Show Opens | 12:00PM

OJB 2027 begins at noon, welcoming buyers, designers, retailers and members of the trade into the Cathedral for an afternoon of sourcing, meetings and discovery. Then at 4 PM, we shift into opening-night mode.

Cocktails at the Cathedral | 4:00-8:00PM

Cocktails at the Cathedral brings the industry together for an evening of jewellery, gemstones, drinks and conversation. It's an opportunity to continue doing business while enjoying the Cathedral in a more relaxed, social atmosphere. For 2027, we're keeping the evening going until 8PM, giving attendees and exhibitors more time to connect, explore and enjoy opening night.

February 5, 2027 - Friday (Final Day)

Final Call at the Cathedral | 10:00AM-4:00PM

With AGTA and GJX wrapping up on February 4, we're giving the trade a reason to keep Tucson going for one more day.

The OJB Experience will host Last Call at the Cathedral, a boozy brunch-inspired closing day built around food, drinks, music and one final opportunity to shop, source and connect before leaving Tucson. For OJB exhibitors, the final day offers something particularly exciting: a day at the Cathedral after two of Tucson's major shows have ended.

One more opportunity to meet a buyer. One more opportunity to make a connection.
