The market opportunity

A growing hospitality design opportunity

The only event that brings together every stakeholder in the buying decision chain

Australia's hotel and resort sector is investing heavily in design, refurbishment and guest experience. Yet until now, there's been no dedicated marketplace where FF&E suppliers, architects, interior designers and back-of-house operators can meet, compare and do business together.

Hospitality Design Live fills that gap. By co-locating with NoVacancy, Australia's largest hotel and accommodation expo, it launches with an immediate, highly engaged audience of hotel owners, operators and design professionals already in the room.

Whether you're sourcing FF&E, architecture, sustainability, F&B design or kitchen equipment, Hospitality Design Live covers every stage of the hospitality design journey.
