Happy 2013!

The new year promises a number of exciting changes for the HD brand.
For the magazine, we’re still riding high on last year’s redesign, which
continues to garner generous praise wherever we go. Our signature magazine
event, the HD Awards for Creative Achievement, continues as ever in June,
with the competition already open for entries. (Avoid the rush: enter early
and often!)
Just a few weeks ago, we added an editorial staffer: Erinn Waldo is our
new online editor, in charge of hospitalitydesign.com, who will be based
in our Atlanta office. Erinn is a recent
graduate of the University of Georgia,
with majors in journalism and music. Our
growing web presence requires a strong
hand, and we look forward to Erinn
making our site even better.
Soon it will be spring, and for us that
means HD Expo. Some changes there
as well, as we move the whole kit and
kaboodle to the Mandalay Bay, giving us
and our attendees a fresh perspective on
the proceedings. As usual, the conference
session is fully packed with great
educational sessions (for a preview,
see page 44), and the opening night
party—a first for us—will be held at the
House of Blues.
Our usual opening night fête in Vegas, the Platinum Circle Awards, will
be moving to New York on November 12th to celebrate its 25th anniversary
and inaugurate the event’s new life in a new home. Soon we’ll be announcing
the location, as well as the luminaries we’ll be honoring.
For ongoing updates on all of these changes, keep an eye on
hospitalitydesign.com and hdexpo.com as well as our next issue, which will
include a special section on our tradeshow.
Have a happy and productive 2013!
