Intimate Atmosphere and Networking Key to Show’s Success

The mid-summer Show was more formidable than its debut in 2011 with 15 new high-end exhibitors and an expanded Show program of daily networking events and high-end services. Amid the daily manicures and passed champagne, the Show’s relaxed environment was conducive to casual industry chatter and business dealings.
In addition to the networking opportunities and luxurious amenities provided, several informative seminars took place, including TrendVision’s 2014+ Update and LUXURY and AMBIO’s ‘Doing Business in Latin America’, a precursor to LUXURY Privé Panama this October. JCK Events also hosted an Editors Preview alongside the Show, allowing a select group of brands to present holiday gift ideas to members of the press.
Feedback from the Show was positive from both the exhibitor and retail side. “We were very pleased with the caliber of brands exhibiting,” said Randy Cooper of Randy Cooper in Wichita, KS. “We saw existing vendors but were also seeking out new brands. At the end of the day we met with 6 new brands, all of them pre-qualified; that is the beauty of LUXURY Privé New York. It’s a relaxed, upscale environment that allows us to spend quality time at each appointment to continue relationships and begin new ones.”
Gina Reneteria of M.K. Diamonds and Jewelry commented on the Show’s networking benefits, saying “the show has been excellent for meeting new people and opening a dialogue. We exhibit at LUXURY and this has been a great extension of that show for us. There is so much value to showcasing here, from the timing and location in New York City to the built in networking and social components.”
The good marks have confirmed JCK Event’s decision to take the Privé model global, bringing the show to Panama in October 2012. Yancy Weinrich of JCK Events remarked “People have been very positive about LUXURY Privé New York experience and are now looking towards Panama. The model works well. Brands and retailers in the high-end market need a follow-up show to LUXURY in Las Vegas and at the same time are actively seeking to expand into global markets.”
