The Jewelry Symposium has set the agenda for its 2026 edition with a renewed focus on skills, digital access and industry collaboration, announcing a second workforce roundtable, the launch of a dedicated event app, and the opening of registrations for next year’s gathering. The symposium will take place from 16 to 19 May 2026 in Detroit.
Titled Rebuilding the Workforce, the roundtable will open the programme and is co-sponsored by MSJA and Jewelers of America. Chairman Linus Drogs said the discussion builds on last year’s consensus that the industry must rethink how it recruits, trains and retains talent, with global professionals sharing proven hiring and retention strategies.
TJS has also introduced a mobile app enabling registration, check-in, agenda access, live updates, document downloads and networking tools.
