Although most people think of Tucson as a single event, it's actually made up of nearly 40 gem, jewelry, bead, mineral, and fossil shows, and each show is organized by a different company. We do not handle registration for either exhibitors or buyers. TO EXHIBIT: Please contact show promoters individually. For a list of shows and promoter contact information, click here. FOR BUYER REGISTRATION: Most of the shows in Tucson are open to the public and sell to both wholesale and retail buyers. However, some shows are only open to wholesale buyers and require credentials in order to enter. Registration for these shows can usually be done before or at the shows, but needs to be done separately with each show promoter.
