Hospitality Design - June 2013 - 34

from the show director

the next big thing
As you read this letter, you will hopefully be a little rested from the
whirlwind of events that springtime brings to our industry. There are so many
opportunities for us to come together, but none greater than HD Expo in Las
Vegas. By the time you read this, it will all be over, but right now I am eager
to get out there and spend time with you all at our exciting new venue,
Mandalay Bay.
Looking ahead, we are working hard on our re-launch of HD Boutique
as HD Americas. This unique event will feature a fantastic conference
program covering topics to help you strengthen business in Latin America
and the Caribbean. From the logistics to the pitfalls and the opportunities, it
is our priority to educate you and help make your next project in the region
a successful one. Please take a moment to look at our website for the latest
conference schedule as well as our stellar list of exhibitors.
Hospitality Design is proud of our role as the
“ultimate connector to the hospitality industry.”
It’s a motto we live by, and we are constantly
looking at new opportunities that will provide a
platform to help you make informed decisions in
your everyday life.
I hope you all have a wonderful summer, and
perhaps even get to take some time off. I know I
will be the proud parent of a graduating student,
and I look forward to planning for her move to
Georgia Tech in the fall. Go Yellow Jackets! She
hopes to become an architect, so perhaps I will
get to host her at an HD event in the future.
Until next month.
