It\u2019s great face-time, it\u2019s a time to actually sit down with them, see what they have available, browse the show floor, and there\u2019s nothing more that I love than just to aimlessly walk and see what\u2019s new, what catches my eye, what\u2019s innovative, what are people gravitating towards, and most importantly, see the vendors that I love and want to support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The JCK Talks education program returned with its most comprehensive line-up to date, offering over 60 sessions covering Hot Topics, Trends, Marketing, Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion, Sustainability, Retail Experiences, and Innovation.<\/p>\n<p>JCK also introduced the dedicated \u201cSocial Stage\u201d this year, where digital strategists, content creators, and influencers shared actionable tips and tricks for content creation, social media engagement, and standing out on social platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, JCK and Luxury hosted keynote speakers, including Daniel \u201cRudy\u201d Ruettiger and Dominique Dawes at Luxury, and Johnny Cupcakes at JCK, who delivered inspiring sessions on customer obsession and creating memorable experiences.<\/p>\n<p>The dates for JCK 2024 were revealed as 31<sup>st<\/sup> May to 3<sup>rd<\/sup> June, with the Hong Kong pavilion opening on 30<sup>th<\/sup> May in the Level 1 Ballrooms, and GEMS featuring AGTA and JCK Talks also opening on 30<sup>th<\/sup> May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JCK has once again surpassed expectations with its highly successful 2023 edition.
