BDNY makes its return to New York’s Javits Center this fall on November 9-10th.
The annual trade fair and conference, presented by HD’s sister publication Boutique Design, will connect boutique hospitality brands and designers with a curated selection of vendors, unique experiences, and hospitality products from around the world.
This year’s 30 conference sessions will dive into top-of-mind topics such as F&B trends, what owners want, AI and social media’s impact on the industry, the rise of soft brands and branded residences, and a case study on the newly transformed Waldorf Astoria New York.
The 2025 show will also bring back Client Confidential: Lunch with the Owners as well as BDNY’s signature breakfast event, Women Leaders.
Four beautifully crafted Designed Spaces, where activations and conference sessions will take place, will be featured on the show floor. Each one will have a different look and feel courtesy of sponsoring manufacturers and leading industry firms and brands—Dream Hotels and Toronto firm Nivek Remas, Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy and New York studio BHDM, and Toronto-based DesignAgency.
The fourth space will bring back last year’s successful launch of Dine & Design, an F&B outlet designed by Aria Group. Plus, local firm Saguez & Dash will envision the Main Stage, where all CEU accredited conversations will be held, and Wayfair will outfit the BD Hub, which will be home to business-focused discussions.
