ready to roll
We look forward to having you join us at our

prestigious HD Expo 2015! As always, we will have a lot to
fill your time-including a few new additions that will be
sure to excite-so plan accordingly.
We offer a plethora of events throughout the show
to offer ample time to network and mingle. To kick off
HD Expo, we invite you to join us for the HD Opening
Night party at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay on
Wednesday, May 13th from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. This party
will start your evening off right with live music from '80s
tribute band Loveshack, photo opportunities, cocktails,
hors d'oeuvres, and dancing. Tickets are available through
our online registration system and will sell out, so get
yours today! Thank you to our sponsor, Aceray, who will be giving out fun party gifts
to the first 100 people through the door.
Always a hit is our annual Party by the Pool held at the Daylight Pool at Mandalay
Bay. This is a networker's paradise and will take place from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. on
Thursday, May 14th. Enjoy the beautiful setting as you build new connections and
strengthen existing ones. Bernhardt Hospitality, Dimplex, MTS, Real Flame, RH
Contract, and Tai Ping are sponsoring the event, so please take a moment to stop by
and say hello. Tickets are available online, or stop by registration at the show to see if
there are any left.
Site visits, presented by our friends at NEWH, are always a treat for the
inquisitive who want to see the latest and greatest Las Vegas has to offer. On
Wednesday, join us to see the newly completed SLS and Delano Las Vegas. You must
be registered to attend these tours and can sign up online or at registration.
To keep you satiated and energized while you're visiting our more than 800
exhibitors, we have placed complimentary water and snack stations around the show
floor. Please enjoy! And while you're there, stop by our Social Hub, booth #1955,
which will feature 30-minute NEWH Green Voice Conversations with sustainability
experts and HD Conversations with industry leaders throughout the show, a bar, and
serve as home base for Hospitality Design magazine. This year, the Hilton Worldwide
design team crafted a concept in line with its newly launched Canopy brand with the
help of our sponsors: Campania International, Gold Leaf Design Group, Kevin Barry
Fine Art Associates, Raydoor, RH Contract, SpecCeramics, Standard Textile, and
Ulster. A special thank you to those companies for helping everything come together.
From the keynote with Clodagh to our signature Owners' Roundtable event, our
sessions are informative, educational, and thought-provoking, and it's not too late to
sign up and earn your accreditation points. I look forward to seeing you at the show!
Spoiler alert: HD Expo 2016 will be held a bit earlier, May 4-6th. Make sure to
mark your calendars! As always, hdexpo.com is your destination to get started.
Until next month.
