Hospitality Design Summit, February 29 - March 2, 2012
The Breakers | Palm Beach, Florida
Hospitality Design Summit, now in its 12th year, is the industry’s only networking conference focused on ideas outside hospitality. Because everyone needs fresh thinking and new sources of inspiration, HD Summit is designed to sharpen the leadership skills executives need daily—and to provide the big ideas needed to stay ahead of the competition.

…top design executives have said, “This is the event I attend every year. I just can’t miss it.” That is because every year is different with new information and new thinking from top global thought-leaders, academicians, researchers, authors, innovators, inventors, and strategists. All in a resort atmosphere that focuses on idea gathering, raw networking, and relationship building.

…an invitation-only gathering of senior-level executives in the hospitality industry attend as delegates or sponsors. Hospitality Design Summit serves as the industry’s leadership think tank…you’ve called it “thought camp” and that fits it perfectly.
