Global organiser dmg events has announced the launch of two new shows – HI Design Americas in the USA and The F&B Summit in Oman.
HI Design Americas and The F&B Summit are niche events for the hospitality sector, focusing on personal contact between buyers and suppliers. They aim to expand the company’s hospitality portfolio.
HI Design Americas will debut at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation, Florida from 9 to 11 September this year. On the 23rd of that same month, The F&B Summit will launch at the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort in Muscat, and run until the 25th.
HI Design Americas enters a market where there are currently 1,484 hotels planned or in development across the Americas, more than 500 of which are on the US East Coast. Similarly, the F&B Summit will launch into a region where annual F&B sales topped US$145bn in 2018, and are expected to rise by another US$35bn by 2023.
dmg’s The Hotel Show is also celebrating its 20th year in Dubai, with geo-cloned editions growing fast in Saudi Arabia and South Africa.
Andy Stuart – Senior Vice President – Design & Hospitality, dmg events commented: “HI Design is focused specifically on the interior design of luxury hotels. The event curates specialist business meetings between key buyers from currently active hotel projects and a carefully vetted selection of suppliers.
“It dovetails perfectly with the work our teams do with a growing portfolio of Hotel Shows, giving us another way to serve our market and reach into new territories.”
