Set against the vibrant backdrop of Shanghai, the Shanghai International Hospitality Design & Supplies Expo (HDE) along with the China International Building & Interior Design Forum (IDF) under the Hotel & Shop Plus umbrella is becoming a crucial event for professionals shaping the future of hospitality, commercial spaces, and interior architecture in Asia. Slated for 31 March – 3 April 2026 at SNIEC, Shanghai, it offers a rich convergence of ideas, products, and connections.
This year’s forum is themed “Ecological Coexistence and Integration,” focusing on sustainable design practices, ecological integration, and how design can respond to changing urban and hospitality demands.
With over 2,000 exhibitors across nearly 210,000 square metres of exhibition space, the expo covers everything from building materials, ceramics and bathrooms, lighting and smart control, to wall decoration and overall custom solutions. It’s tailored for anyone involved in hotel or commercial space construction, operation, or design.
Forums and thought leadership (IDF): Parallel to the trade show, the IDF draws design masters, architects, hotel and real estate brand representatives for keynote speeches, case studies, and interdisciplinary dialogue. Past global speakers include big names like Tony Chi, Bill Bensley, Ed Ng, and Piero Lissoni.
Also featured are shows and activities around smart hotel technology, façade and sun-shading innovations, intelligent lighting, and tailored custom solutions for commercial spaces.
