JW MARRIOTT SAVANNAH PLANT RIVERSIDE DISTRICTOCT 28-29, 2024

HD NextGen Forum, presented by Hospitality Design magazine, is an invitation-only conference that blends education, inspiration, business, and networking for the next generation of hospitality design leaders. From inspirational keynotes to the influential leaders of the Owners’ Roundtable, our speakers lineup is sure to motivate and educate.

At the event, HD also annually presents the Wave of the Future awards—an honor reserved for designers, architects, owners, and brand executives who we think are young enough to be considered visionary, but tested enough to be considered accomplished. In addition to a spotlight in the magazine, honorees share their experience during an exclusive panel discussion.
