Hotel & Resort Design South is a very organized event that offers an excellent experience for us who are passionate about hotel design, since it not only offers supplier exhibitions (like many other events) but also offers an interesting program of conferences by great professionals about all the processes involved and the contrasts between different experiences of working in hotel chains according to the region and hotel category.
I had the opportunity to attend HRDS for two years in a row as attendee, hosted buyer and also panellist on the 2024’ edition and truly enjoyed the experience. This is one of these very few shows and events where you could truly make the best out of all networking opportunities, educational sessions and actualization on the latest trends in the Hotel Design Industry
My experience at HRDS was truly eye-opening. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge your support throughout the process. Your kindness and assistance were instrumental in making my attendance possible.
Meeting industry professionals from around the world was another highlight. This sector moves quickly, and hearing relatable stories and experiences from peers was incredibly valuable. The expo itself was well-curated and thoughtfully organized. Working on all-inclusive projects, I found the connections between our work and the cruise industry to be particularly enlightening. It made me think, "How did this not occur to me sooner?"
