BDNY is returning to the Javits Center in New York on November 10–11th, 2024. This annual trade fair and conference, presented by Hospitality Design’s sister publication Boutique Design, will once again connect boutique hospitality brands and designers with a curated selection of vendors, unique experiences, and hospitality products from around the world.
This year’s conference sessions will explore a fresh array of industry-influencing topics, including: the Boutique and Lifestyle Landscape; Where Wellness and Sustainability Meet; The Future of F&B; Understanding AI and Design; Influences from Outside the Industry; Harnessing Neuroaesthetics in Hospitality; and a new BDNY event, Client Confidential: Lunch with the Owners.
Hundreds of manufacturers—such as Akula, Astek, Brand Standard Furnishings, Emser Tile, Gasser Chair, Global Allies, GRAFF, Kimball Hospitality, Royal Custom Designs, Serta, Sutherland, Tarkett, Tropitone, TUUCI, Walters, Wayfair, and Wolf-Gordon will once again exhibit on the BDNY trade fair floor.

A brand-new F&B pavilion—dubbed Dine & Design: A BDNY PopUp—will debut on the trade fair floor, specially targeted to high-end, front-of-house restaurant and bar design. This vibrant area, anchored by an active café space envisioned by Jessica Gidari, founder and creative director of hospitality design and branding consultancy J.GIDARI, will showcase a wide array of curated products, including furniture, tableware, uniforms, branding items, lighting, flooring, and more. This engaging popup concept offers attendees a lively spot to connect and network over light fare, with coffee and wine service available throughout the day.
