welcome back
After 26 months, we're fi nally coming
together again as a community at the HD
Expo + Conference in Las Vegas! Again,
we thank each and every one of you for
sticking with us as we cancelled HD Expo
+ Conference 2020, and then postponed HD
Expo + Conference 2021 from May to August.
Now it's time to celebrate overcoming
challenges by seeing old friends, discovering
new innovations, and sharing insight.
We're excited to introduce new
activations on the show fl oor that will create
an even bett er and more creative onsite
experience, and this issue provides a sneak
peek into what you'll see in Las Vegas. The immersive HD Park is where all
CEU-accredited conference sessions will be held. There's also the DesignWell
pavilion, where we will explore the evolving wellness market. We'll also
unveil a preview of the long-awaited winning design of the HD/Hilton Box
challenge from Miami fi rm Urban Robot Associates.
Don't forget to join us for our fi rst-ever reception on the show fl oor on
Tuesday, August 24th from 4 p.m - 6:30 p.m. We're extending the show
hours so you can grab a cocktail from one of the hosted bars and continue
your conversations while browsing the booths. We're also supplying the
entertainment, light bites, and music-you won't want to miss it!
If you have questions about HD Expo + Conference's health and safety
protocols, I invite you to take a look at our What to Expect document. You can
fi nd this on the Hotel + Travel tab under Health + Safety at hdexpo.com. The
website will always be the source for the most up-to-date protocols, so be sure
to check it oſt en.
We owe a tremendous amount of thanks to all of our att endees, exhibitors,
sponsors, speakers, and collaborative partners. We truly could not do this
without all of you. Now, let's celebrate!
