Design News: BDNY 2015 Conferences

BDNY’s incredible growth is due in part to the strength and depth of its Conference program, assembled by executive editor Mary Scoviak and the Boutique Design team. In addition to BD signature sessions such as New in New York, Brand Central and the ISHP/BD Owners’ Grill, the 2015 Conference agenda will include more than a dozen sessions, many with CEU accreditation.

This year’s conference program has a whole new look that’s meant to start conversations and broaden your vision board.

Like good lifestyle design, it’s all about customization. We offer three tracks to mix and match:

Information : The hottest people, projects and products influencing headline-making hospitality work in 2015
Inspiration : Out-of-the-box ideas from sources as varied as theater designers, the visionaries behind America’s new cities and the tech wizards creating hologram meeting rooms
Interaction : Unique educational workshops and interviews on the trade fair floor designed to let you engage with leading designers, sustainability experts, artists, manufacturers and more.
