Sleep & Eat

Event date

Sleep & Eat is Europe's leading design and innovation event for the hospitality sector. Showcasing over 150 high-end suppliers and their latest designs and innovations, the event returns this year on 19th - 20th November with the theme "Social FlexAbility." The show will be exploring one of the most challenging issues of our technology-enabled age through the free to attend high-level Conference, Sleep & Eat Sets and edited Exhibition.

The show will explore the challenges hospitality designers face when asked to create flexible spaces where users can activate the social experience of their choice. Taking on this theme, six creative studios will create four Guest Room Sets alongside a Restaurant and Bar Set, with the challenge to provide flexible spaces where users can activate the social experience of their choice.

We couldn’t focus a show on becoming more sociable without creating more networking opportunities for our visitors themselves. New for this year, we have introduced our Networking Hours, hosted by TopHotelDesign on Tuesday and Wednesday 2-3pm, located in our new co-working space “The Hub”, which is designed by Wilson Associates. And a returning feature, the pop-up Sleeper Bar, known as the place to gather, network and socialise will be designed by Michaelis Boyd, the London and New York based architecture studio recognised for its sophisticated, design-led approach and emphasis on sustainable and environmentally conscious materials and building techniques.

In recognition of the continuing convergence between hotels, restaurants and bars, the event's previously separate conference streams are being merged into one Sleep & Eat Conference, this year curated by Heleri Rande. Global leaders from across the sector will unpack the ideas that will inspire the evolution of hospitality design and experience. Talks will be taken by leaders from the following companies; The Standard Hotels, NeueHouse, Rocco Forte Hotels, CitizenM, The Langham London, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, Michaelis Boyd Associates, Grzywinski+Pons, Megre Interiors, and Baca Architects.

There will also be a late-night networking event from 6-8:30pm on Tuesday 19th November. This will be an opportunity to network with the design community and catch up with peers and will also provide an exclusive opportunity for visitors to access the VIP Lounge, designed by MEGRE INTERIORS.

As in previous years, the event will also feature an international exhibition, bringing back world-renowned manufacturers and introducing newcomers to launch their latest collections and showcase their most design-led furniture, lighting and other hospitality driven products.
