A record-breaking number of designers, architects, brand executives, hoteliers, developers, purchasers, manufacturers, and more attended
the annual BDNY trade fair in New York on November 12-13th, 2023. The weekend kicked off Friday with the HD Platinum Circle Awards
gala and closed with the 43rd Gold Key Awards ceremony on Monday. At the fair, attendees explored products from nearly 700 exhibiting
companies; immersed themselves in the four signature Designed Spaces crafted by leading hospitality and design firms with products from
exhibitors and sponsors; and listened to more than 30 conference sessions that covered the state of the industry, trends, brand updates, F&B
shifts, and more. Be sure to save the date for BDNY 2024, taking place November 10th-11th at the Javits Center in New York!
