WHAT'S NEW + NEXT

Drenched in Design — All New Venue for Party by the Pool
Party by the Pool is re-imagined at Palm Tree Beach Club (MGM) on Wed, May 6, 6:30–8:30 PM. Larger footprint + lower attendee ticket price = more of the people you want to meet. Be part of the ultimate after-hours networking event!

Hosted Buyer Program Expansion
We’re doubling the Hosted Buyer program to bring ~200 senior decision-makers (plus 35 New Design Professionals) to HD Expo. These key buyers will participate in pre-set meetings and guided booth tours, adding energy and momentum across the hall.

A Floor Plan That Works for You
The new Center Bar is a true meetup spot to help attendees recharge and stay on the floor, while strategically placed designed spaces create multiple gravity points for steady foot traffic across every aisle.

 

Thursday That Means Business
We’re engineering a stronger finish with fresh programming, refined dining options on the floor, and extended Thursday hours (9:30 AM-2:00 PM) to keep qualified conversations going through show close.
