from the show director

perfect timing
It's hard to believe another HD Expo is
on the horizon. And we couldn't be any more
excited about some new experiences that will
take the show to the next level. More than 200
new booths and 600 of your favorite exhibitors
will be featured, and a new layout will make
navigating the exhibit floor much easier. We
are close to finalizing our new mobile app-HD
Connect-with an innovative module to help
you maximize your time at the event. It will also
allow you to set up appointment times before
the show and ensure one-on-one meetings with
preferred exhibitors.
Our opening session, "CEO Talk: Lessons
from the Top" on Wednesday, May 3rd from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m., will feature
viewpoints from leaders of today's most prominent lifestyle brands and
development companies. Join us for this free and intriguing panel discussion
with industry icons Mark Harmon, Auberge Resorts Collection; Jay Stein,
Dream Hotel Group; Brad Wilson, Ace Hotels; and Josh Wyatt, Related Equinox
Hotels Properties. You won't want to miss this inspiring session.
Get your tickets now for our popular networking events including the
Opening Night Party held on Wednesday, May 3rd at Hakkasan at MGM Grand
from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. And Party by the Pool moves to Drai's Beach Club on the
Cromwell rooftop on Thursday, May 4th from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. There is still time
to add both events to your registration before tickets sell out.
In addition, we're also partnering with Rockwell Group on our Social Hub.
We assure you, this lounge will be like nothing you've seen before, channeling
an '80s high school cafeteria vibe with bold colors, bleacher seating, and
many places to socialize and relax. Thanks to our sponsors: Aceray, Astek
Wallcoverings, Artline, Cambria, EGO Paris, Shaw Hospitality Group, and
Sunbrella Contract. The highlight of the space, as always, is the intimate
30-minute conversations with industry experts covering a range of topics-
sustainability, social media, and the business of design, to name a few.
We're excited about HD Expo 2017, and we hope you are too. As always,
hdexpo.com is your destination to register, and for a complete exhibitor list and
conference schedule.
Until next month.
