The inaugural event brings together industry leaders and influencers for networking and education in beautiful Park City, Utah.

NEENAH, Wis.

The three-day immersive experience will gather established and emerging jewelry industry leaders and influencers in a retreat environment featuring unique networking and outdoor adventure opportunities.

“While Jewelers Mutual began as an insurance provider over 100 years ago, we have transformed into a company that provides a robust suite of solutions to help further the growth of the jewelry industry every day.

We hope those attending will be inspired by the content and motivated by how our industry can evolve,” said Scott Murphy, president and CEO at Jewelers Mutual.

Jewelers Mutual Group has recruited PSFK, a progressive retail and consumer experience consulting firm to present on the future of jewelry retailing and the jewelry shopper of tomorrow. Attendees can expect PSFK to share unique insights on the Metaverse, web3, NFTs, the evolution of online shopping and other forward-thinking topics.
