HD Expo 2014 Show Guide - 6

Welcome

From the Show Director
On behalf of the Hospitality Design Group,

it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2014
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 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 IIDA/HD
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 Morgans Hotel Group. This area will not only be a home for our
HD magazine team, but it will be a hub of activity over the next three days. Stop by to
learn from the experts about the future of green initiatives or learn from leading brand
executives and hoteliers in intimate 30-minute conversations throughout the show. You
can also join us for a refreshing beverage at the bar, and a chance to relax and regroup.
I encourage you to buy your tickets to this year's Opening Night Party at the House of
Blues on Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Entertainment will be provided by the
lively Boogie Nights band and each ticket comes with two drink tickets. Continue the party
on Thursday with our open bar at the always popular Party by the Pool. Please note this
event will be at its new location, Daylight Beach Club at Mandalay Bay. To access the pool,
please exit the convention center into the car park area and the pool will be on your left.
Our conference program is full of really engaging sessions once again this year,
from a look into the Making of Makkah, a $6.5 billion project, to the inspiring
concepts of Radical Innovation and the always popular Owners' Roundtable. Please
look through the schedule in this book for the sessions that are developed with you in
mind in order to answer your questions and develop opportunities.
We owe our success to you. Tremendous thanks to our attendees, exhibitors,
speakers, and collaborative partners: NEWH-The Hospitality Industry Network;
International Society of Hospitality Purchasers (ISHP); American Society of Interior
Designers (ASID); American Institute of Architects (AIA); International Interior Design
Association (IIDA); and the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA).
