The American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) is switching up its show dates for next year’s Tucson GemFair.

Traditionally held from a Wednesday to the following Monday, the 2010 show is now scheduled for Feb. 2 to 7, a Tuesday to Sunday.

AGTA chief executive officer Douglas K. Hucker said the new date pattern is in response to exhibitor and buyer feedback.

“With the support and co-operation of the Tucson Gem & Mineral Society and the Tucson Convention Center, we were finally able to make it happen,” he added.

While the AGTA Spectrum Awards Gala will still be held on the Saturday night, other events may change depending on the groups involved.
