The Sleep Event brings together all those with an interest in the areas of design and architecture within the hospitality industry.

The exhibition provides an opportunity to learn all about the latest developments in hotel design ideas, in a themed environment that includes a host of well known furniture and interior design companies, the European Hotel Design Awards display and an area dedicated to room set displays. The conference features a strong line-up of speakers from the hotel sector, and will appeal to anyone interested in the creation of new hotels. From furniture to wallpaper, flooring to financial services, The Sleep Event provides a wealth of information about a busy and innovative sector.About Business Design Centre
