from the show director

looking ahead
I am so excited to be deep in the HD Expo
planning stages. And you won't want to miss
this year's show as we present more than 800
exhibitors showcasing their new product lines and
amazing displays.
I hope you are planning to join us Wednesday,
May 13th from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. for the HD Opening
Night party at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay.
Your evening will start off with live music from
'80s cover band Loveshack, photo ops, cocktails,
hors d'oeuvres, and dancing. Tickets are available
through our registration page and will sell out-so
get yours today. It's a networking event like no other
and a great way to kick off HD Expo. A big thank you to our sponsors: Aceray
and Symmons.
Always a hit is our annual Party by the Pool, held at the Daylight Beach
Club at Mandalay Bay. This networking event sold out early last year; please
don't wait to get your tickets, available online. The theme this year will be a
whiteout party, so put on your best white outfit and let's have some fun on
Thursday, May 14th from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Enjoy the beautiful setting as you
build new connections and strengthen existing ones. Again, thank you to our
sponsors: Bernhardt Hospitality, MTS Seating, Real Flame, Tai Ping Carpets,
and RH Contract.
The Social Hub will once again be located in booth #1955, and it will be an
even more exciting spot to hang out this year. Created by Hilton Worldwide's
global design services team, the Hub will feature informal 30-minute sit downs
with industry experts, NEWH Green Conversations, a bar, and will be the
home of Hospitality Design magazine's booth. A full schedule of these free
sessions is available online. Stop by for a cocktail or one of Hilton's special
signature drinks, and stay for an opportunity to recharge, meet people,
and relax!
I can't wait to see you all in Vegas at the hottest show to take place all year.
Register online now as my guest with registration code FROMLIZ for a free
Expo pass.
As usual, hdexpo.com is your destination to get started.
Until next month.
