The American Gem Society’s International Conclave began in 1937 and has grown into the premier educational and networking event in the jewelry industry. The Society’s members convene annually to further their ongoing education and meet with their colleagues. The 2024 Conclave in Austin marks the American Gem Society’s 90th anniversary, so expect the exciting and innovative for our celebration!
Considered one of the primary benefits of membership in the AGS, Conclave is held in a new location each year, and is three days of jam-packed education and relationship building. During the event, you’ll have access to phenomenal keynote and featured speakers who are leading national speakers as well as breakout speakers who are industry experts, teaching a variety of need-to-know topics ranging from gemological training to sales, leadership, HR, legal, finance, and important government regulations.
What does that mean for you? It adds up to 15 hours of education over three days! There is also over 20 hours’ worth of social activities, including networking breaks and events. It is more than that, though: it’s an investment in you and your career.
