What To Expect At BDNY 2026

Boutique Design New York (BDNY), a leading trade fair for hospitality design, is around the corner. Hosted November 8-9, 2026, at the Jacob K. Javits Center in Manhattan, the show will feature immersive spaces, talks by industry leaders, and show-stopping exhibits by more than 700 brands from 55 countries.

This year’s theme “Designed to Be Remembered” invites attendees to examine the details, materials, and moments that make a space memorable. Think: how does a space feel rather than how does it look? This concept shapes the show floor, which will include built-out hospitality settings as well as fresh product introductions. Must-see collaborations include a nod to a Manhattan penthouse channeling Gilded Age glamour by Ennismore + Avenue ID, as a well as a hotel design inspired by the city’s nightlight by IHG + Crème Design, and an unexpected and richly layered gathering space by Preen, Inc.

“Memorable hospitality is built through thousands of decisions, from the products designers specify to the ideas and experiences that influence their thinking,” said Kevin Gaffney, senior vice president and general manager, Forge. “Our goal is for people to carry what they discover at BDNY into their work, and ultimately into the guest experience, long after the show ends.”

“BDNY offers the rare opportunity to bring the hospitality design community together in one place for a weekend chock-full of inspiration,” said Alissa Ponchione, Editor in Chief, Boutique Design | Hospitality Design. “There’s a real sense of discovery on the show floor and beyond, from seeing new products and experiencing spaces in a different way to connecting with the people and ideas shaping the future of the industry. I can’t wait to see how it all comes to life in New York.”

During the show, attendees can visit Dine & Design to recharge, a lounge transformed by RELISH into a fully functional café, and stop by the BDNY Main Stage—a coastal escape designed by Beth Bloom Designs—to hear industry leaders, like Paolo Ferrari, share insights into the business, design, and cultural shifts impacting hospitality design.
