Vendors should consult with their current financial institutions, as they can provide the most secure, seamless process options and equipment that connects to their banking network.

Many shows hire their own staff, so you may wish to contact the shows individually through our listings.

While we do have one or two new shows and/or shows that relocate each year, they secure their properties via many different channels. We generally refer shows seeking venue space to our partners and encourage everyone to contact the show owners and promoters directly using the gem show listings information.

The Official Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase Program Guide and Map are published by Madden Media and Visit Tucson. Advertising opportunities are limited, with priority going to prior advertisers as well as the shows themselves. There are other guides to the Showcase that may have advertising opportunities available, including Meta Magazines (metaguide.net) and Tucson Show EZ-Guide (xpopress.com).
