What you will find at (and about) these shows: Xpo Press has researched all of the top mineral-centric shows on each continent to determine the shows and showcases that meet our criteria for inclusion on our list of The World's Top Gem Shows.
Enthusiastic about this sophomore edition of the Int'l EZ Guide (INEZ), Brad Hicks, Xpo Press, stated, "This year INEZ begins/began its year-long distribution schedule at the Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines Mineral & Gem Expo in France in June 2013, then makes/made it’s globetrotting appearance at every major gem and mineral show in the world through MineralienWelt -Idar-Oberstein in Germany in June 2014."
Want your show included in the next INEZ? According to Mr. Hicks, this is how it's done! Selection Criteria:
1. The shows must have strong rock-mineral-fossil representation, not a jewelry or bead show
2. They must have 100 vendors or more (slightly fewer will do if a show meets all other criteria, like the West Coast Show in Santa Ana, Calif., which has 80ish)
3. They must host an updated/accurate website
4. They must have a reliable contact person who is positive and eager to provide information to us about their show
5. They must welcome dealers/vendors from all continents to sell at their show (for example, the FIPP Brazil show, though certainly a major world gem show, is not included because non-South American dealers are restricted — and they don’t have a website that we can find)
6. They must agree to distribute INEZ at their show.

International EZ-Guide
Twenty-five-thousand International EZ-Guides are published and distributed at the largest gem and mineral shows in the world, that attract the world's best sellers and buyers of gemstones, minerals and fossils. Distribution of this Guide begins each June at the Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines Mineral & Gem Show in France, and continues for the following 12 months at over 20 shows in Asia, Europe, and the U.S.A. Xpo Press has researched all of the top mineral-centric shows on each continent to determine the shows that meet our criteria for inclusion in the International EZ-Guide's list of the top gem and mineral shows in the world. The International EZ-Guide is published in 7 languages, all in one annual publication — English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish — so readers who pick up the Guide at any show throughout the world will be able to read it in their native language.
International EZ-Guide Mission Statement: The purpose of the International EZ-Guide is to promote the selling and buying of gemstone, mineral and fossil products and services through organized industry-related shows and expos throughout the world, and to encourage dealers and show promoters to advertise themselves internationally.
