Set in Istanbul, Turkey from 30 September 2026 to 3 October 2026, IJS 2026, the Istanbul Jewelry Show, has established itself as a key date for the sector. The floor fills with brands, distributors and procurement teams, all there to compare products and strike deals in person. Running every year, it has settled into a rhythm the sector plans its year around. With an anticipated 18363 attendees, it offers strong scale and networking potential. Credit for the smooth running goes to Informa Markets, who shape the programme end to end. Istanbul Expo Center hosts, pairing practical facilities with a location that keeps attendees close to the action.

Location matters, and Istanbul delivers. It brings together the infrastructure of a major event city with the warmth of a place used to hosting guests from abroad. Getting to Istanbul is simple thanks to its airport links and well-developed local transport network. You will find plenty of places to stay within easy reach of the venue, whether you prefer convenience or character.

The show brings together Jewelry, Jewelry Industry, Jewelry Products and Fashion, Beauty & Lifestyle, giving buyers and sourcing professionals a single place to compare what the market has to offer. Beyond the stands, the event creates natural opportunities to connect with buyers, partners and suppliers from across the sector. With 1000+ exhibitors taking part, there is no shortage of partnerships to explore. With 50,000 m² of exhibition space, the event provides a spacious, well-organised environment for business.

For the cost of a few days, you get a read on the whole market that no spreadsheet can match. IJS 2026 earns its place on the calendar for trade professionals, agents and distributors, edition after edition.

Rooms in Istanbul get scarce as the dates approach, so securing a hotel near the venue sooner rather than later is the safer bet.
