The GJEPC’s genre defining and sector leading IIJS Virtual comes out of the need to keep the wheels of commerce in motion at a time when the global trade was suffering from the pandemic. IIJS Virtual is slated to be a successful flagship trade show from the GJEPC’s prolific stable of events. 

The software experience is simple and easy to navigate and easy to do business. IIJS virtual would continue even when the physical movements start, as it offers adequate privacy for business. Says Colin Shah, Chairman, GJEPC, “Under the guidance of Shailesh Sangani, the whole IIJS team has worked tirelessly over the past few weeks to make IIJS Virtual possible.”

IIJS Virtual, the biggest online B2B gem and jewellery trade show of this year, retains all its necessary facilities and services that exhibitors and visitors have come to expect from the physical show.

Says Shailesh Sangani, Convenor of the Exhibitions Sub-Committee of the GJEPC, “The lifelike simulation will only add to the ease of doing business. This way lies the promise of hope and prosperity, and the vision of a better tomorrow. It's time to choose.”
