Conclave 2026

This interactive Edge User Group session is designed for retailers who want to better understand recent enhancements to The Edge and how they can be applied effectively in day-to-day store operations.

We’ll review key features and improvements released from early 2025 through Conclave 2026, focusing on real-world workflows such as inventory accuracy, purchasing, receiving, reporting, and operational visibility. Attendees will learn not just what’s new, but why changes were made and how other Edge users are putting them into practice.

The session will also include a forward-looking discussion of upcoming enhancements currently in development, giving attendees insight into where The Edge is headed and how they can prepare their processes and teams. Time will be reserved for questions and peer discussion and collaboration.

Whether you plan to sell, pass it to your children, or simply want the decades you have invested to mean something beyond your last day behind the counter, this session is for you. Many jewelers build genuinely successful businesses and still have nothing structured to show for it at exit. Not because they failed, but because success alone does not create a transferable legacy.

This session covers the financial and operational systems that turn a successful jewelry business into one that can be passed down, sold, or protected regardless of what the future brings.

Mariel Diaz founded Accounting for Jewelers in the shadow of her father, a talented and successful jeweler who built something real but left no systems behind to protect it. When he was gone, so was everything he had built.
