Mandalay Bay Convention Center | 10:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Welcome to a brand new pre-conference day at HD Expo + Conference designed to help you spec smarter. In collaboration with The International Society of Hospitality Purchasers (ISHP), five training modules with leading designers, brand leaders, owners, manufacturers, and purchasers will delve into the ins and outs of specifying casegoods, seating, textiles, lighting, and flooring.
Think of it as a product bootcamp. But in true HD style, we will add a bit of networking and fun, and provide the space to ask all your questions. Plus, you earn five (5) CEU credits, a certificate from us, and see the product up-close on the show floor the next day!
HD University is available as an add-on to Expo Only, Full Conference, and Experience Passes.
