After the success of IIJS Premiere in Bengaluru in September 2021, the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) today announced the dates and venue for the 14th edition of IIJS Signature. The show will be held from 6th January to 9th January, 2022, at JIO World Convention Centre (JWCC), a prestigious new exhibition space in Mumbai.

IIJS Signature will be the first-ever exhibition to be organised at JWCC. With more than 1400 stalls, IIJS Signature will be held in two halls on two floors with a huge concourse area (Pre-Function area), the pillarless Jasmine Hall measuring 10,000 sq m, and the Pavilion Hall spanning15,000 sq m.

With state-of-the-art facilities, and located in the heart of the city, across the street from the Bharat Diamond Bourse, JWCC will offer a new experience for exhibitors and visitors. Among its amenities are a car parking space for around 5,000 cars, in-house food and beverage facility, and fibre-enabled data services.

Colin Shah, Chairman, GJEPC said, “With USD 18984.49 million exports during April-September, and after the stupendous success of the first mega exhibition in India, IIJS Premiere in Bengaluru, our sector has already achieved nearly half (46%) of the USD 41.66 billion G&J exports target set by the Govt. IIJS Signature, the first Gem & Jewellery trade show of the next calendar year, would help to keep up the momentum and reach our export target for the fiscal year. Mumbai has always been the home ground for IIJS Exhibitions and we are elated to host IIJS Signature in Mumbai.”
