HD Expo 2015 Show Guide - 6

Welcome

From the Show Director
On behalf of the Hospitality Design (HD) Group,
it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 Hospitality
Design Exposition and Conference (HD Expo). We have so
much to share with you this year and I would like to thank you
for choosing to join us for the next few days.

The show ﬂoor will open promptly at 9:30 a.m. each day and
with more than 800 exhibitors to explore, you will need all the
time you can spend to ensure you don't miss out on a thing.
While you are perusing the show ﬂoor, keep a look out for the
winners of the HD/IIDA Product Design Competition best product design competition who
will be honored in their booth. The innovation is really supreme.
I am really excited about our Social Hub located right on the show ﬂoor and designed by the
very talented Hilton Worldwide's Global Design Services team led by Larry Traxler. This area
will not only be a home to our Hospitality Design (HD) magazine team, but it will be a hub of
activity over the next three days. Stop by to learn from sustainability experts or from leading
brand executives and hoteliers in intimate 30 minute conversations throughout the show. You
can also join us for a refreshing beverage and a chance to relax and regroup.

Our conference program is full of really engaging sessions once again this year, including
a very special keynote address by world-renowned designer Clodagh who will discuss,
and I quote: "This is a terriﬁc opportunity to share 32 years of research in the hospitality
design industry, and also to reveal to a large audience secrets that I've never revealed
before. I want the audience to understand the depth with which we pursue every project,
our multi-faceted and holistic approach, and the fact that we're never happy until our
clients are totally joyful about the results." Please add this free session to your schedule
on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. and check out the full conference lineup in this book.

Ofﬁce:

We owe our success to you. Tremendous thanks to our attendees, exhibitors, speakers,
