HD Expo + Conference, the premier hospitality trade show, is set to take place from May 6 to 8, 2025, at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. This event is a unique platform where hospitality innovators come together to collaborate and share ideas. Designers of hospitality spaces, ranging from lifestyle hotels to trendy restaurants and luxury resorts, will have the opportunity to meet directly with suppliers, view new products, and learn from industry experts.

The show is expected to attract exhibitors from 42 countries and states across the United States. With an impressive exhibition space of over 100,000 square feet, this event promises to be a hub of innovation and inspiration. Additionally, it will host more than 88% of attendees who are involved in hospitality purchasing decisions, making it a valuable platform for networking and business opportunities.

The event is not just about showcasing products; it also provides a unique opportunity for exhibitors to tell their brand stories to qualified attendees. This year, HD Expo + Conference is collaborating with The International Society of Hospitality Purchasers (ISHP) to offer attendees five HSW credits through HD University. This program is designed to help attendees make smarter specification decisions.

According to Erin Stone from Samuel Lawrence Hospitality in 2024, "HD Expo + Conference is a great opportunity to see our current customers and talk about our current and evolving capabilities. It’s also an opportunity to generate new leads and lets us meet customers we wouldn’t otherwise get to interact with." Similarly, Jim Staicoff from Hallmark Hospitality Services in 2024 highlighted the importance of this event for hospitality designers: "HD Expo + Conference is the single most important event a hospitality designer can attend. Besides the massive amount of new materials and products available, the lectures feature current insights by the most innovative hospitality designers and developers."

The show offers a variety of features designed to inspire attendees. The Social Hub, DesignWell Pavilion, HD Park, and more provide daily doses of inspiration from Hospitality Design magazine. Attendees can also stay updated with the latest projects and must-read interviews through various digital platforms.

In summary, HD Expo + Conference 2025 promises to be an essential event for anyone involved in the hospitality industry. With its focus on innovation, collaboration, and networking opportunities, it is undoubtedly a must-attend trade show for hospitality professionals.
