If you're into interior design, this one's for you. The Hospitality Design Expo, or HD Expo, is the largest hospitality design trade show in the US, and it happens right here in Las Vegas every spring. It launched in 1992 and has grown into the go-to event for interior designers, architects, developers, and brand leaders shaping the future of guest experiences. We're talking 3 jam-packed days of product launches, networking, and panels, although admittedly I only stopped by for a few hours to see the booths.— if you can even call them that. Hosted at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, this expo spans everything from custom lighting and luxe textiles to tech for smart rooms and wow-worthy water features. I was mesmerized by the beautiful concept rooms and appreciated learning about trends in sustainably sourced materials. It's part trade show, part model house, and 100% inspiration for anyone in the hospitality industry. Kindly smack that like button if you want to discover more Vegas business events.
