NEWH - Spring 2025 - 38
CONFERENCE ROUNDUP
BDNY
BDNY 2024 drew more than 15,000 designers, architects, hoteliers, developers, brand executives, purchasers,
manufacturers, and other industry professionals from around the globe. The event kicked off with the inspiring HD
Platinum Circle Awards gala and wrapped with the 44th Gold Key Awards, celebrating the best in hospitality design. Over
the course of two days, attendees explored innovative products from more than 770 exhibitors, experienced the launch of
the Dine & Design pavilion, anchored by Cafe Hue, and visionary Designed Spaces created by top design teams and
manufacturers, and took part in more than 40 thought-provoking conference sessions. Topics ranged from neuroaesthetics and F&B trends to insights on AI's
role in design, and the latest updates from owners and brands-plus a new business-focused track intended to elevate attendees' professional knowledge and
several NEWH sessions on the trade fair floor. Mark your calendars for BDNY 2025, returning to the Javits Center November 9th-10th and find more
