Business, Education and Special Events at the Upcoming Centurion Jewelry Show December 24, 2025 (0 comments)

Merrick, NY--As the Centurion Jewelry Show marks its 25th anniversary, it will once again deliver a luxury environment focused on business and networking, enhanced by panel discussions, guest speakers and live entertainment.

More than 1,000 attendees are expected at the invitation-only event, running January 31 through February 4 at the Arizona Biltmore Resort in Phoenix.

“Looking back over the years, Centurion has grown into a strong industry brand and has helped generate nearly a billion dollars in sales among our attendees and exhibitors,” said Howard Hauben, president and CEO of Centurion and H2 Events. “Our collaborative structure—working hand-in-hand with exhibitors—has made the show resilient through major challenges, from 9/11 just before our first event, to the Great Recession of 2008–2009, and the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Entertainment highlights include a performance by multi-GRAMMY Award-winning, diamond-selling band Train, which will headline the Grand Finale outdoor dinner under the stars on February 3.

The show will also offer several educational opportunities, led by three days of morning sessions. Featured speakers include:

·       Champion amateur wrestler Anthony Robles

·       AI specialist Pinar Seyhan Demirdag

·       A panel of jewelry influencers discussing key industry trends

The annual Centurion Hedda Schupak Baum Excellence in Design Awards will be presented during the Centurion Gala Dinner on February 2. Winners are selected by a vote of fair attendees.

As in past years, transportation will be provided to and from the airport, along with a special bus service to Tucson, allowing attendees to visit the Tucson gem fairs.
