A Major Honor—and a Big Opportunity for U.S. Shows
Russell and Missy have been invited to speak during an exclusive PRIVÉ event that kicks off the Sainte-Marie show. They will present a 10-minute promotional video and address the audience, showcasing the growing impact and opportunity of Hart Events’ U.S.-based gem shows—including the upcoming Denver Gem Show, taking place September 5–14, 2025, at the National Western Complex.
This moment marks a huge honor not just for Russell and Missy personally, but also for all vendors and participants in the Hart Events community. Their presence at Sainte-Marie is a testament to the credibility, professionalism, and upward momentum of Hart-produced shows in Tucson, Denver, and New Jersey.
Why This Matters to Our Vendor Community
By representing Hart Events at Sainte-Marie, Russell and Missy are doing more than just speaking—they’re actively building new global vendor relationships, attracting high-quality exhibitors to the U.S. marketplace, and creating awareness of the tremendous buying power and audience reach of Hart’s gem shows in the States.
This is a working trip with one clear mission: to bring new energy, opportunity, and visibility to our U.S. shows and to the vendors who make them possible.
What It Means for the Upcoming Denver Gem Show
With international eyes turning toward Hart Events, the Denver Gem Show is poised for its strongest year yet. As one of the most centrally located, vendor-friendly shows in the country, Denver offers massive foot traffic, a supportive infrastructure, and exciting partnerships across education, tourism, and retail.
We encourage all current and prospective vendors to see this for what it is—a chance to ride the wave of global exposure and align with a show producer that is making international moves on behalf of its community.
If you’ve ever considered joining us in Tucson, Denver, or New Jersey, now is the time. Let’s grow together.
