HIX 2023 is all about people, perspectives and progress. Here’s what to expect from Europe’s only hotel design event.
Taking place on 16 and 17 November in the heart of London’s design community, HIX 2023 is bringing the hospitality community together for two days of exhibitions, installations, discussions and parties. Celebrating the latest and greatest hotel interior experiences, Europe’s only hotel design event is guided by this year’s theme ‘a room with a point of view’, highlighting the voices, concepts and values set to define the next chapter of hospitality design.
Welcoming designers, architects, operators, investors, project managers, procurement specialists and more, guests will discover the entire hotel supply chain under one roof, and registration is free. Plug into the cutting edge of hotel design with social, expo, talk and installation strands, all underscored by a curated programme of immersive and engaging activations across the show floor by Europe’s leading design brands.
Where last year’s theme was all about the great things that grew in the wake of disruption, HIX 2023 is about people, perspectives and progress. Looking ahead to the next era of hotel design, with a special focus on the unique viewpoints shaping the guest experiences of tomorrow, HIX is a platform for the people, projects and voices that make hotels incredible.
