Terms and Conditions
Admission Entry Policy to the Australian Jewellery Fair (AJF)
Expertise Events’ (Organisers) purpose in conducting the AJF Exhibition (Event) is to provide the jewellery, watch making and associated industries with a forum to exhibit their products and services, sell and order take, exchange information, and opportunities for business growth, by catching up with past, present and potential new customers.
Attendees will see the latest products and services available in the marketplace, and the ability to network and engage with Exhibitors, industry participants and overseas suppliers/manufacturers.
Exhibitors are encouraged to be educational, communicative and informative in their exhibit displays and contact with attendees.
Our goal is to ensure that we do what we can to ensure your investment is protected and maximised.
Exhibitors are there to present, educate the industry, sell, and maximise the exposure of their goods, services and organisation and not be sold to, and equally not to have non- participating organisations promoting themselves at the Event who are not contributing to its success. We ask the Exhibitors on the show floor work with us in protecting their collective investment.
Trade Show Management
We reserve the right to restrict access to, or to remove any attendee from the Event, for any infraction or non-compliance with these rules.
Who Can Attend?
AJF is the industry trade event for jewellery, watch and associated industries participants. Each attendee is expected to conduct him/herself in a professional and courteous manner, and respect AJF Exhibitors and the rights of other attendees.

STUDENT POLICY:
We ask you to bear in mind that Expertise Events are committed to the future of the jewellery, watch and associated industry and as a result actively encourage the attendance of TAFE, University and recognised education institution students to attend and participate in the Event. We also acknowledge trade events and exhibitors invest a lot of time and money to attend with the intent of meeting new and existing customers.
The exhibition is a business-to-business activity and exhibitors are present to meet industry representatives. They will give priority to visitors to their stands to whom they can sell their products and services. Please be aware that there will not be appropriate representatives on the exhibitor stands who can answer questions relating to career advice.
All students should be smartly dressed and wear their badges throughout their visit to the Event.
For any students attending in groups, permission is required from the Organisers. Please email your request to info@expertiseevents.com.au

Waivers can be obtained from the registration counter, and if approved, a Child’s Pass will be provided to grant limited access to the trade show floor only.

If a child is found without parent or legal guardian supervision, he/she will be taken to the registration counter and his/her waiver will be rescinded. Failure of the parent or legal guardian to supervise the minor’s activities may result in removal from the Event.
