Attendee FAQ
Have a question about attending the show? You will find clear answers to the most common questions below. And if you don't see what you need, please send us a note to
Admission to the Atlanta Jewelry Show is free for qualified retailers because the event is open exclusively to the trade.
Additional experiences, such as education and Bench Fusion, carry separate fees, which you will find outlined in their respective sections.
To protect the wholesale focus of the show and ensure a safe environment on a busy exhibit floor, children under 12, including infants, are not permitted, and strollers are not allowed.
The only exception is AJS FutureFusion, a jewelry training program for children ages 7-17. This program is an immersive, hands-on jewelry workshop that uses real tools and torches, so it is not a childcare service and is not suitable for younger children. Click here for more details.

You can browse all exhibitors in our online Exhibitor Listings anytime. A printed directory will also be included in your registration materials on-site.

The Cobb Convention Center is dedicated to ensuring that our guests have accessible and safe parking. During construction at the convention center, only 2 decks are available, the Green Deck and Blue Deck. Parking is $10 daily.* No in-and-out privileges.
We recommend the Blue Deck as it is located directly across Galleria Drive and easiest to navigate during construction. This parking deck has an underground tunnel on the 2nd level with direct access to the front entrance of convention center. Use this tunnel in order to avoid traffic while crossing the street and also to protect yourself from inclement weather.
Handicap parking is located in the East Lot, located off Galleria Pkwy (the connector between the Waverly Hotel and Cobb Convention Center). Guests will enter the convention center through the East Entrance.
Photography of any exhibit is not allowed unless you receive permission from the exhibitor. Many exhibitors display new products, prototypes, or designs that are not yet public, and this policy protects their work and their competitive advantage. If you’d like to take a photo, please ask the exhibitor directly.
A limited number of wheelchairs are available free of charge at the Cobb Convention Center Concierge Desk. To reserve one in advance, call 770.989.5030. Wheelchairs can also be reserved through Collier’s Pharmacy at 770.455.4433.
Scooters are available for rental and must be ordered ahead of time. You can reserve a scooter through Atlanta Scooter Rentals at 770.309.3699 or through Scootaround at www.scootaround.com.
