About HD Expo + Conference 2022HD
The HD Expo + Conference 2022 is the largest hospitality event of its kind in the country, showcasing the latest products, services, and innovative developments from the industry’s leading manufacturers.
Where legacy meets the future of design.
Thousands of game-changers before you, have gathered with us for over three decades—dedicated to sharing the best of design. What started with fern bars (they’re back, BTW) and florals (they are, too) has expanded to, well, everything for hospitality, hybrid spaces, and so much more. Quite simply, HD Expo + Conference is hospitality’s leading design marketplace and gathering.
Home to innovative product launches and leading-edge collections. Debuts and redux. Invention and reinvention. Stalwarts and upstarts. In one place, in one space. Renowned for networking and town hall. Case studies and all-in conversations. Critical topics and stellar speakers. Dark horses and workhorses. Big names and rising stars.
Cross-pollinating our industry like none other: Owners. Operators. Designers. Architects. Purchasers. Specifiers. Developers. Financers. Wellness-gurus. Vendors. Suppliers. Manufacturers. Reps. Experts. Icons. Mavens. Go-getters. Connectors. Thought-leaders. Lifelong-learners. Fire-brands. Renegades. Rulebreakers. Risk-takers.
