As some one who has been serving
in this sector for many years
now, this has been one of those
fairs which have given me the
most pleasure among the fairs
which I have attended in Turkey
and abroad. I thank İzmir Jewex
, which has proven us that this
fair is a fair and to GENÇİZ

have paid great efforts for this
fair…

Even though during a crises and
that it is the first time, a
very active fair was lived
through. I think for my self and
on behalf of my company that it
has been now too late for the
organization of a such fair. I
endlessly that to those all who
paid their efforts for this
fair…

Even though this fair was held
for the first time a very
satisfying result was taken. I
think that this has been a very
beneficial fair for the interest
of Izmir. I think that in the
following years the
participation will be at higher
levels and that Izmir will be
the alternative of Istanbul…
Yalım TEMİZOCAK
Company Owner
We have seen that the
participation and the number of
the visitors at JEWEX 2009 has
been to much higher than the
expected level as its promotion
and announcement was done very
well. We are much more hopeful
for the future years. We had
such important contacts which we
have submitted to our Istanbul
Center. WE have been through a
fruitful fair by which we will
be able to get results both
domestically and abroad. We
thank to everyone…

Even though JEWEX has been the
first fair in İzmir I can still
say that it has been great. A
Colorful, active and beautiful
fair was lived through. I
congratulate those who paid
their efforts. I think that the
future of the fair will be very
bright. Also in future years I

undertaken the fair
organization.

In fact we have not attended
this fair with great
expectations. Our purpose was
to support Izmir and to take
place in this fair which was
held for the first time in our
city. We had positive
negotiations with the boards
from Dubai, Libya, Azerbaijan,
Georgia. WE had relations with
our domestic market visitors. I
assume that our colleagues who
did not attend this year will
for sure attend in future
years. I thank very much to
GENÇİZ Fair Organization
Company,, as they have organized
a such fair.

Emre ÖNEMLİ

The success of the fairs are not
measured with the crowd tit has
drawn, instead it is understood
by the effected negotiations
and the received results. As
someone from Izmir I have been
fully supporting this fair since
its starting date. I think that
it will open a horizon for Izmir.
The important thing iwas to
realize the first fair. In the
following fairs I believe that
the works will be much easier.
I thank very much to GENÇİZ Fair
Organization company and their
employees…

Cem ERİNÇ

I am attending too many fairs
domestically and abroad. In
Izmir the location of the fair,
service quality and the
relations with the customers was
extremely good. If I started to
go around the Ege region inch by
inch, one month was not going to
be enough for me. I caught that
chance at this fair. For sure
not only Ege but all Turkey took
its place in this fair. I gained
new customers. I had
negotiations, This has been a
very beneficial fair for me…

Sector earned its second most
important fair. In this fair we
have seen closely the Fair
culture of Izmir, the warm
blooded people and their
hospitality. The participants
comng from other cities and the
visitors have left the fair as
they have been pleased here. I
Thank to GENÇİZ Fair
Organization Company and to all
those who paid efforts for this
fair…

I think that JEWEX 2009 has been
very neat and very successful
even though this has been the
first time. I left the fair with
very positive opinions. JEWEX
2009 has left a much impressing
vision comparing to those held
abroad,, regarding its
cleanness, neatness, technical
service provided to the
companies, the friendly
approaches. Finally, I heartily
would like to congratulate those
who have paid efforts in this
fair…

İbrahim KAYGISIZ
Company Owner
The Fair understanding of Izmir,
is very well known by the whole
Turkey. In this fair we again
saw this understanding and
culture once again. Everything
has passed in neatness and
beautifully. Even though it has
been the first fair
participation and the interest
to the fair was very well. When
we compare it with the fairs
held in Ankara and in Adana I
can say that Izmir fair has been
much more successful. I thank to
those who have paid their
efforts…

In the fair we lived to
happiness of receiving the
interest we have been expecting.
It pleased us that visitors from
abroad markets, especially from
Dubai visited the fair. We have
been through a successful fair.

Timuçin Ali KARAKAŞ
Authorized Employee of the
Company
JEWEX 2009 has been very
professional and qualified
regarding the fair
organizations. I found the
participants and the visitors
very positive. I think that
this fair will be much more
successful next year. This fair
has two chances, first one is
the fair infrastructure of Izmir
and its culture, and the second
one is the Izmir Chambers of
Jewelry Makers and the infinite
support of the İzmir Chambers of
Commerce. The negotiations have
been positive for our company
and it has been a fruitful fair.
Karat Kuyumculuk / İzmir
Necmi ÇALIŞKAN
Company Owner
I think that announcements and
the promotional works of the
JEWEX 2009 were executed
perfectly. I fact our
expectations were not this
high. The visitors coming from
abroad and those coming from
Anatolia stated that they will
be coming here rather than going
to Istanbul. I think that next
year one hall will not be
sufficient and I think that in a
few years the number of visitors
will grow by four or five
times. In the Fair, our
expectations about cleanness and
service were met completely. I
thank to everyone who have paid
their efforts…
ORBAŞ / İstanbul
İsmail BAŞ
Company Owner
I am very pleased that we have
attended this fair. I think
that 90% of our expectations
were met. Next year we will
attend with better
preparations. Izmir shall free
itself from being a village, in
this city there are everything.
When there is a will and
corporation by coming together;
there comes the success. I am
impressed by the quality of the
organization. I am pleased to
have attended…
Özgün Alyans / İzmir
Ahmet ÖZGÜN
Company Owner
As a resident of İzmir and on
behalf of those living in izmir
I thank to all who paid their
efforts for this fair. On the
first opening day of the fair,
it has taken the second place
following Istanbul. This is a
great success. I believe that
next year the whole sector will
intensely get interested in the
fair. İzmir waited for long
years for this fair. However,
the obtained result was worth
waiting. The next target of
İzmir is to make the JEWEX grow
bigger and develop better. It
has been a fruitful, beautiful
and interest attracting fair. I
hope that this success will be
folded in the future years and
it will gain a conventional
structure just like
International fair of İzmir.

Salih ZENGİN

JEWEX 2009 has been far beyond
my expectations. Izmir fair
shall set an example for
Istanbul. Istanbul fair started
to loose its old ambiance in the
recent years. JEWEX 2009, has
been better than Gaziantep,
Ankara and Adana fairs. Service
was flawless. The
administration of the chambers,
employees, sponsors, everone was
very interested. I thank to
those who paid efforts…
Şengül Kuyumculuk-MAMUŞ /

Rıfat İYİGÜN
Deputy President of the
Management Board
With JEWEX 2009 İzmir showed its
International fair Culture of 77
years. I am very pleased to take
a place in the fair. Even though
the fair for the jewelry sector
has been very late now, it still
was very successful. In the
following years I believe that
it will be a fair which will
cause an advancement in the
sector, which is beautiful and
responding to the demands.
Izmir is a very convenient city
for a such fair with the air and
the sea transportation in, with
the surrounding highways,
automobile roads and with all
the infrastructure in İzmir…

Right from the start we have
never lost our hope in this
Fair. I wish that all our
colleagues in İzmir attended the
fair. Following this fair, I
believe that Izmir will come to
the forefront in a short while.
I believe that JEWEX 2009 will
sign under very big successes. I
congratulate Gençiz Fair
Organization Company…
Melis Kuyumculuk-AKMEL /

Elif AKOĞLU
Company Owner
Under normal economical
conditions this fair could have
been much more successful. I am
sure that in the following years
it will sign under much bigger
successes. Even though this was
the first time we met serious
buyers from UAE and Azerbaijan.
I believe that JEWEX is going to
obtain an important place among
the jewelry sector fairs and the
participation will grow…
MİDAS / İstanbul
Salih ÖZKAN
Marketing Manager
Our colleagues, while attending
the fair, did not pay much
attention to the question “if it
will be successful or not”. We
did not doubt that İzmir will
carry our a serious work.
Consequently, when we attended
the fair, we saw that the
organization, infrastructure and
the works done before the fair
have all been so proper. These
all have been the aspects which
increased the quality of the
first fair. Next year with the
economy getting better, there
will be a great increase
regarding the attendants of the
fair…
