There is still time to purchase early bird tickets to Hotel Designs’ networking event, Meet Up London: 30 Under 30… 

The deadline for purchasing early bird tickets to Meet Up London: 30 Under 30 ends today. Designers, architects, hoteliers and suppliers are still able to purchase early bird tickets for Hotel Designs‘ highly anticipated Q1 networking evening, which recognise and commend 30 young rising stars in the industry.

The event, which is being exclusively styled by Minotti London and will take place in the showroom in Fitzrovia, will help to further bridge the gap between designers, architects, hoteliers and key-industry suppliers. “We hope that by launching the ’30 Under 30′ element to the evening that the event will become more than just a networking event for industry leaders,” said editor of Hotel Designs Hamish Kilburn. “We are excited to shine the spotlight on the rising stars of industry, to the individuals who are fast climbing the ranks to push international hotel design into a new and exciting chapter. This is therefore the perfect event for individuals from across the industry to gather to help further bridge the gap between designers, architects, hoteliers and key-industry suppliers of all ages.”
