JCK Promotes Jennifer Hopf to Event Director

JCK has promoted Jennifer Hopf to its leadership team as its new event director.

Hopf will oversee the JCK Las Vegas show’s operations and focus on continued growth, innovation and value for exhibitors and attendees globally, the company said Wednesday. She takes on the position after three years at JCK, where she oversaw attendee acquisition and event operations. She has previous experience in the jewelry industry, holding sales and training leadership roles with Links of London, Pandora and The RealReal.

Meanwhile, Sarin Bachmann, senior vice president of the jewelry portfolio of events and brands at RX USA, will remain at the helm and continue to provide strategic guidance and direction. Bachmann is in charge of the JCK, Luxury and JIS shows and JCK’s media outlets.

“Having the right team in place is what continues to drive JCK’s success and I am confident that [Hopf] is the perfect choice as JCK’s event director,” said Bachmann. “Along with our incredible team’s continued dedication, and us working closely together, JCK will continue to inspire and empower the jewelry community in new and exciting ways.”

Bachmann will maintain her active involvement in the industry, including her positions on several advisory boards and her role as chair of the JCK Industry Fund Committee.

Under her guidance, Meghan Margewicz will continue as event director of Luxury, and Sara McDonough will remain event director of the JIS Events in Miami Beach.

The next JCK show is scheduled for May 29 to June 1, 2026, at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas.
