Design Americas Launching in September 2015
A new design show for the hospitality, contract, kitchen and bath, and retail design markets will debut in Miami Beach
Emerald Expositions announces the launch of Design Americas, a new show catering to the hospitality, contract, kitchen and bath and retail design markets. Developed as a response to the evolving world of design, the show will serve as the definitive destination for designers looking to explore the latest products and services either from a respective sector or across the entire design industry.
Taking place at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami Beach, FL from September 16 to September 17, 2015, the event will take the form of four shows in one, with a floor plan that separates each sector, but allows attendees easy access to the entire exhibition. In addition to hundreds of unique exhibitors, the unified show will also welcome leaders in the respective focuses for a series of panels and conference events.
For the first time, architects, designers and developers will find a complete product, materials and services resource across the spectrum of interior design sectors including hotel, restaurant, resort, cruise ship, commercial contract, residential, and retail environment.
Design Americas will be promoted to the newly created 220,000+ attendee/reader database of The Design Group (www.thedesigngroup.me) including a fresh and extensive purpose built database of the top architects, interior designers, developers, visual merchandisers and retailers in the key markets of Brazil, Mexico, Columbia, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, Chile and the Caribbean Islands.
"The design audience we serve is concurrently engaged in multiple facets of the industry. Design Americas was created to provide designers and developers throughout the Americas with a comprehensive resource comprised of leading global suppliers serving every aspect of the interiors industry." commented Joe Randall, EVP of The Design Group, a division of Emerald Expositions, LLC.
Design Americas will serve as the new home for HD Americas. After 11 successful years as the premier boutique hospitality design show, HD Americas will helm the hospitality division for Design Americas. "We are a brand that focuses on relationship development, business growth and future expansion and the transition away from HD Americas is a direct response to listening to the desires of fellow industry influencers," said Liz Sommerville, group show director for HD Americas and HD Expo. Hospitality Design magazine will continue to sponsor the hospitality sector of Design Americas.
