Denver—The HardRock Summit event, which debuted last year, has announced it will return to Denver this fall.
The 2022 edition of the event will be held from Sept. 8-11. It will once again feature the “Evolution” component for fine minerals and fossils as well as “Sparkle & Joy” for fine gems and jewelry.
There will also be dedicated exhibition areas for the American Gem Trade Association’s GemFair Denver event and the Denver Gem & Mineral show.
This time, all the components will be held together in one venue—the Colorado Convention Center.
The summit will also provide educational opportunities with special exhibitions and presentations.
“We are excited to once again connect the fine minerals and fossils worlds to the fine jewelry and gem communities for both discovery and business,” said Christoph Keilmann, co-founder of HardRock Summit.
“We are also looking forward to curating incredible special exhibits and presentations and working with museums, private collectors and leading experts to bring enriching experiences to all that attend.”
Admission to the event is free to qualified trade members and buyers, while an admission fee will again be required for the public.
AGTA’s show won’t be open to the public.
