HIX EUROPE 2026 // CHANGES This year, we’re embracing CHANGES. With the theme writing itself, we’re reflecting on change through the lens of design, hospitality and travel. What does it mean to change? To evolve. To rethink. To become different. From shifting brands and guest expectations, to the evolution and adaptation of physical spaces, and the transformative experiences that great design can create, change is shaping hospitality in new ways. And HIX is changing too. As we move to our exciting new home at Excel London, a purpose-built Docklands blank canvas ready for bold ideas and fresh perspectives, we’re entering a new direction. For 2026, the tide moves in a new direction. 📅 25–26 November 2026 📍 ExCeL London 🎟️ Free to attend Register for your FREE pass: https://lnkd.in/edTUM8ir #HIXEurope #HIX2026 #HospitalityDesign #HotelDesign #InteriorDesign
