A NEW ERA FOR DENVER BEGINS IN 2027
HART’S DENVER GEM SHOW MOVES TO THE NEW NATIONAL WESTERN CENTER — AND HARDROCK SUMMIT IS JOINING US
Hart Events is proud to announce a major step forward for Denver’s gem, mineral, fossil and jewelry community.
Beginning in September 2027, Hart’s Denver Gem Show will move to the new National Western Center campus in Denver — and Hardrock Summit will join Hart Events at the National Western Center.
For decades, Denver has been one of the most important destinations on the international gem and mineral calendar. Now, two of Denver’s leading shows are coming together on one campus to create something even bigger.
Two Shows. One Destination. One Extraordinary Denver Experience.
By bringing Hart’s Denver Gem Show and Hardrock Summit together at the National Western Center, collectors, dealers, jewelers, designers, museums, industry professionals and the public will have access to an unprecedented concentration of exhibitors and merchandise — all at one world-class destination.
BUILT FOR THE FUTURE
The move represents far more than a change of venue.
The new National Western Center gives our shows something we have never had before: the ability to grow together.
The campus provides approximately 385,000 square feet of indoor event space in the Livestock Center, more than 44,000 square feet in the Legacy Building, the 12-acre Yards outdoor event area, and more than 1,500 on-site parking spaces.
That means more exhibitors.
More categories.
More opportunities for buyers.
Better logistics.
And room to build the future of the Denver gem and mineral market.
TWO DISTINCT SHOWS. ONE POWERFUL DESTINATION.
Hart’s Denver Gem Show and Hardrock Summit will retain their individual identities while benefiting from being located together on one expansive campus.
Visitors will be able to experience everything from exceptional minerals, fossils and gemstones to jewelry, beads, lapidary, décor, wholesale merchandise and one-of-a-kind treasures — while professional buyers and collectors gain access to an extraordinary concentration of dealers in a single Denver destination.
This isn’t simply about putting two shows at the same venue.
It is about creating the destination.
A destination capable of attracting buyers, collectors, and exhibitors from across the United States and around the world.
A destination with the infrastructure and space to continue growing for decades.
And a destination worthy of Denver’s place in the international gem-and-mineral industry.
JOIN US IN THE FUTURE.
