Inside HD Expo + Conference 2025: A Senior Leader's Take on Innovation and Connection

HD Expo + Conference is one of the industry’s biggest events of the year. It’s an opportunity for businesses and thought leaders in the industry to come together, learn from each other, and showcase innovation and creativity. Every year, I leave the show feeling more inspired, energized, and connected with the hospitality design industry. And this year was no exception!

From the moment I landed in Las Vegas, I could already feel the excitement. After dinner with some clients and a zipline ride over Fremont Street, it was time to get to work.  

This year, we showcased Euro pleated drapes that surrounded the Wellness Pavilion. After months of planning and preparation, seeing the booth come alive is always rewarding. Our team wrapped up Monday with dinner at Tender Steakhouse which gave us time to reflect on the day and reconnect with the team before the show. 

Once the show started, I had the opportunity to connect with attendees and catch up with clients. I also got to listen to several of the amazing speakers and panelists that spoke at our booth with our beautiful draperies as the backdrop. 

Another highlight was being able to spend time walking around the show, checking out all the creative booths, meeting new people, and being reminded that this industry is fueled by creativity, connection, collaboration and a passion for designing unique spaces.  

HD Expo + Conference is a great opportunity to showcase your products and designs, network, and reconnect with clients. I left HD inspired by the creativity of the booths and the people I connected with throughout the week. The hospitality design industry is a special place, and I’m grateful to be part of it.  

See you at HD Expo + Conference 2026!
