BDNY returns to New York’s Javits Center on November 8-9th for two days of product discovery, networking, and thought-provoking conversations.
The annual trade fair and conference—presented by HD’s sister publication, Boutique Design—connects boutique hospitality brands and designers with a curated selection of vendors, immersive experiences, and innovative products from around the world.
This year’s conference sessions will explore many of the industry’s timeliest topics, including global hospitality investment and development, human-centered design, the future of the guest experience, cultural intelligence and community impact, and more.
The 2026 edition will also welcome back the signature BDNY Power Players: Women Leaders in Hospitality Breakfast event, hosted in partnership with NEWH. This year’s panel will be announced soon.
Custom Designed Spaces will once again anchor the show floor, serving as hubs for activations, connection, and educational sessions. Each environment will feature a distinct design vision created through collaborations between sponsoring manufacturers and leading industry firms and brands, including IHG and Brooklyn, New York-based CRÈME; Ennismore and Avenue Interior Design; and Los Angeles firm Preen Inc.
Dine & Design also returns with a fully operational café designed by //3877. Plus, Beth Bloom Designs will create the Main Stage, home to all CEU-accredited conference sessions.
