The American Gem Society’s (AGS) International Conclave is headed to Orlando, FL, September 14 – 17, 2026.

"Conclave is my favorite event of the year! It's the perfect mix of people from every facet of the jewelry industry coming together to share and learn. You won't find a better event for education, networking, and reconnecting anywhere. This is where you'll find the best and brightest of the jewelry world."

"I always make new connections and friendships at Conclave. The networking opportunities are amazing. The conference is always top-notch, and the energy is through the roof. AGS staff go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and to assist with any needs. The education is outstanding."

"The Conclave experience is similar to attending a family reunion. It’s a great time to socialize with your peers and meet new people. Not only do you learn new skills from the breakout sessions, you learn from being with industry peers. It’s really the only industry event for me that is more of a relaxed atmosphere with a positive vibe and no selling pressure."

"AGS Conclave is undoubtedly my favorite industry event all year. It combines education, networking, inspiration and fun in an exciting and different US city every year. I look forward to Conclave way more than I look forward to my birthday."

"Conclave is life-changing and holds such importance in the continued success of our business and the additional benefit of embracing our personal lives. The friendships that are fostered through meeting people of like-mind are one of the most impactful aspects of attending Conclave regularly!"

"This was my first Conclave, and I hope it's the first of many. The experience was incredible - I had the chance to meet new industry friends and mentors, learn from tastemakers, and reignite my passion for my work. The networking opportunities were fantastic, the educational content was top-notch, and the atmosphere was energizing. As a result, I returned to work with renewed enthusiasm and fresh, sparkling insights. I highly recommend this event to anyone looking to connect with peers and learn from the best in the business!"
