Hospitality Design - August 2013 - 34

from the show director

come on in
July is one of my favorite months. Schools are out,

vacations are taken, and everyone enjoys the great outdoors.
Of course, by the time you read this, it will be August, when
we’re putting kids back in schools, complaining about the
traffic, and wondering where the year has gone. But there
is still so much to look forward to, including HD Americas
in September.
As this will be our first year with a new name, we have
added a new feature to build excitement on the show floor:
the Social Hub, and it will be the place to chill out and
connect during the show. This special lounge area is ideal
for interacting and nurturing relationships. Throughout
the two days we will have interesting and engaging
conversations in this space that will give our guests time to sit down, relax, and learn
something new. The schedule is as follows, and each of these events is free to all
attendees and exhibitors.
