Select groups of The SMART Jewelry Show's attendees get access to special areas where they can relax, enjoy complimentary refreshments and network with peers who have like accomplishments.
Sure, the groups are exclusive. But that doesn't mean you can't gain entry and reap the rewards at next year's show. Here's how:
Win America's Coolest Stores 2012
Every year, our judges sift through a stack of entries looking for independent jewelry stores — both big and small — that stand out from the rest. With scorecards in hand, they examine each store's story, exterior appearance, interior appearance, advertising and marketing materials, website and overall individuality.
We tally up the scores and give the winners a free trip to The SMART Jewelry Show and access to a lounge where they can mingle with all the Cool Stores winners from the present and past.

Having one of the country's top stores isn't something most can run out and do tomorrow. But there's another way. Simply join INSTORE magazine's group of industry experts (our Brain Squad), make regular contributions, and soon you'll be getting an approving nod from security as you step into the Brain Squad Lounge.
