AGTA cancels 2021 Tucson show

23-02-2021

The AGTA GemFairTM Tucson show scheduled for April 2021 was cancelled, announced organiser American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) yesterday.

The AGTA board of directors had made efforts to talk with exhibiting members and past buyers through emails, zoom meetings and calls and planned to reschedule the Tucson show to 13-18 April when over 20 other gem shows in the city were postponed or rescheduled to the March/April time frame. After much discussion with the parties, it was determined that producing a Tucson show would not be viable this year, said AGTA CEO Douglas K Hucker.

“The decision to cancel our Tucson event for 2021 was clearly one of the most difficult decisions the AGTA Board of Directors has faced,” said Hucker. “Moving forward, we are all committed to planning a robust show in Tucson in 2022. Additionally, we are currently investigating other opportunities for AGTA and its members to participate in Las Vegas this August as well as other exciting possibilities that we expect to announce very shortly.”
