120+ Centurion 2022 Attendees, Exhibitors Share Their Opinions on the Recent Show April 18, 2022 (0 comments)
Phoenix, AZ--On January 29-February 2, 2022, The Centurion Jewelry Show brought together more than 1,300 of the industry's top retailers, designers, manufacturters and service companies for the 21st consecutive year of the invitation-only event. The show's new home, The Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, served as the backdrop for more than four days of buying, selling, dining, networking and fun.
"Rather than for Centurion to tell the industry what happened at Centurion 2022, we asked our attendees to share their opinions in what turned out to be the largest outpouring we've ever experienced of insightful and supportive quotes for publication," said Centurion Show President Howard Hauben. "There were more 120 quotes received from buyers and exhibitors," he added. "Several are below and the balance can be downloaded for review by clicking the image below (or following the URL below the image)."
