Boutique Design New York (BDNY) made its triumphant return to the Javits Center on November 10th and 11th, setting a new milestone with the largest audience and most exhibitors in its 15-year history.
More than 15,700 designers, architects, brand executives, hoteliers, developers, and other industry professionals attended BDNY, an increase of 5% from the previous year, cementing its position as the premier trade show and conference for boutique hospitality design. I solidified it. Attendees will explore innovative products from more than 770 exhibitors, participate in more than 50 thought-provoking discussions with nearly 200 experts, and take part in a selection of exciting networking opportunities and events. I participated.
The show floor highlighted key trends shaping the hospitality sector, such as the marriage of functionality and materials with rich, moody hues such as burgundy, purple and brown. Exhibitors also showcased the latest technological advances backed by a growing commitment to sustainability.
