GemJammin' 2012 is an "open-to-all gem/jewelry trade professionals" musical jam and is a benefit for Jewelers For Children. Participation and attendance is open to all members of the gem, mineral and jewelry industries.
Business Discovery Workshop
In MVI's ongoing quest to more effectively serve our clients we have developed the Business Discovery Workshop (BDW)- a unique forum designed to facilitate effective, open and honest discussions between your team and ours.
The goal is to crystallize the strategic options your retail business should consider for the near and long term. The BDW is conducted over 1.5 days with key personnel from your organization and an MVI senior analyst.
Following the BDW, MVI will create a summary report on the meeting complete with our recommendations and analysis.
