BDNY has announced it's educational lineup for its 2023 show in November.

Boutique Design New York (BDNY), trade fair and conference for hospitality’s boutique and lifestyle design community, returns to the Javits Center on November 12-13, 2023. This annual, high-energy event connects interior designers, architects, purchasing agents, hoteliers, owners, brands and developers with innovative manufacturers of hospitality interior products for two days of networking, inspiration and exclusive insight into today’s boutique and lifestyle hotel trends. BDNY’s bespoke, curated fair experience features more than 650 exhibitors that focus on a selection of exceptional product solutions for lodging, restaurants, wellness, spas, clubs, marine, and senior lifestyle interiors. As the final design trade fair to cap 2023, BDNY provides an opportunity to view the latest product launches, reach new and powerful decision-makers, and earn CEUs before year-end.

“BDNY remains the pinnacle experience for hospitality leaders, designers and the industry at large. Following the tremendous response we received from our exhibitors, attendees and design partners in 2022, we are excited to see what ideas and partnerships come out of the 2023 fair. The hospitality industry — particularly boutique and lifestyle hospitality — continues to flourish as more and more people seek out personalized travel experiences. We are looking forward to continuing to expand our exposure and to deliver smart and targeted programming for the hospitality design community this year,” states Kevin Gaffney, Group Vice President, Emerald Design Group.

BDNY returns with a wide-ranging conference program showcasing CEU-accredited sessions, and timely and thought-provoking discussions with design visionaries, rising stars and thought leaders alike. In addition, the inventive Designed Spaces, imagined by leading hospitality design teams with collaborating exhibitors’ products, comprise gathering areas throughout the fair. Designed Spaces are created by Andaz in collaboration with Host Hotels & Resorts, designed by Otherworld Creative and Within Light Studio; KTGY + Simeone Deary | Design Group; Rockwell Group; and SH Hotels & Resorts. Also making a comeback is BDNY Meet, an easy-to-use matchmaking platform for targeted meetings between exhibitors and attendees.

“BDNY is honored to present state-of-the-art product innovation, of-the-moment talks and creative solutions throughout the fair,” says Keisha Byrd, Brand Leader, BDNY. “This includes four distinct, experience-driven Designed Spaces, each featuring a unique narrative. It’s all about sparking ideas and looking at boutique and lifestyle design through a different lens. Additionally, this year’s education sessions encompass hospitality in-depth and beyond—psychology and neuroaesthetics, best practices from other sectors, New York innovation—and our speakers range from industry design leaders to brand experience experts. It’s a great mix of deep discussions and pop-up talks across compelling topics.”
