Welcome to the second month of 2018! It's amazing how fast time flies

(I feel like I just returned from holiday break), and I hope everyone's new year
is off to a great start. The HD team has definitely hit the ground running. These
first few months of the year are some of our busiest, preparing for HD Summit,
our HD Awards (shameless plug: entries are due March 6th), and of course,
HD Expo. The conference lineup where we bring many of the stories from the
magazine to life is nearly complete, so head to hdexpo.com to see what's in store.
Last year was one of our best shows yet, and we hope, with your help, to continue
that trend.
We always like to start the year off
with our development issue. It's our way of
taking the industry's pulse. Good news is the
development pipeline is robust, filled with
projects that are raising the bar and pushing
the design envelope. In fact, we had a hard
time narrowing down which places we should
cover. In the end, we traveled the globe to
nine places-cities, countries, neighborhoods
within cities-that showcase the talent and
innovation of this industry. Along with doing
a market overview, for a few of the locations
we took a deep dive into one recently opened
project in that area that truly sums up the
breadth of work happening there.
For our cover, we looked outside hospitality, choosing a stunning, colorful
installation in Japan that speaks to the power and delicacy of time. As you all
know, inspiration for projects comes in all shapes and sizes, and this one surely
does not disappoint. Hospitality, in fact, is increasingly influencing other design
disciplines, from retail to coworking and healthcare. To recognize that, we are
planning what we think will be a unique one-day event in New York on October
11th called Elevate, which will do exactly that: celebrate the best of all types of
design and the masterminds behind it. (Keep a look out for more information
soon.) Hopefully, it's another way we can continue to inspire and connect the
design world we are so proud to be a part of.
