  Virtual Event 

  Exclusive to BIJC Members

Join the Black in Jewelry Coalition for an interactive evening of networking and meaningful conversation.

Designed to foster authentic connections within our membership community, this event will bring together BIJC members from across the industry to share experiences, exchange ideas, and build relationships in a welcoming virtual setting.

How It Works

Participants will be assigned to small breakout groups and rotate throughout the evening.

During four 15-minute networking rounds, each group will engage in a different discussion topic, allowing attendees to connect with a variety of members while exploring some of the most important conversations shaping our industry and community.

Discussion Topics

• Career Development
• • Explore professional growth, career transitions, skill-building, and navigating opportunities within the jewelry industry.
• Community & Collaboration
• • Discuss ways we can strengthen our networks, support one another, and create opportunities together.
• Mentorship & Leadership
• • Share insights on mentorship, leadership development, and how we can uplift the next generation of Black jewelry professionals.
• Wellness & Work-Life Balance
• • Engage in honest conversations about burnout, boundaries, self-care, and creating sustainable success.

Who Should Attend?

This event is open exclusively to current BIJC members, including designers, retailers, gemologists, bench jewelers, students, educators, manufacturers, suppliers, content creators, and other jewelry industry professionals.

Whether you're new to the industry or a seasoned professional, you'll leave with new connections, fresh perspectives, and a stronger sense of community.

We look forward to seeing you there.
