The Experience
Professional days felt purposeful; public day brought families and influencers into Hall C. Permanent-jewelry booths drew consistent queues despite ambient noise.
Crowd and Movement
Main aisles congested during stage transitions. Craft pavilion traffic was slower but dwell time was higher—a trade exhibitors should understand.
Did It Match Positioning?
Education programming delivered; consumer day felt slightly more promotional than promised, but not misleading.
