Design Entries Due May 13 For Foodservice Pioneering Concept

HX: The Hotel Experience, November 13-15 at the Jacob Javits Center, New York, is accepting applications for the 2016 Foodservice Pioneering Concept Awards. Submissions must include plans for a revenue-generating foodservice concept that can open and operate in an under-used, nontraditional location in a public area or in a host (client) venue, such as lobbies, courtyards, hallways, concourses or any high-traffic space not specifically outfitted to foodservice are venue examples.

All submissions, which call for a narrative, rendering, floorplan and elevation, and equipment requirements, must be completed by May 13. Applicants can submit their project ideas online here.

The first-place winner will receive paid travel and hotel expenses to supervise installation of the project on the exhibition floor and to attend the show. In addition to industry recognition, the winning concept will be promoted in HX Show communications, and be featured, along with second- and third-place winners, in a future issue of Foodservice Equipment Reports magazine. The winner also will have the opportunity to present a seminar at HX and HX will create a video interview to run on both FER and HX describing the concept vision and the equipment that enables it. Access to leads generated by visitors to the concept installation on the show floor also will be supplied to the winner.

HX: The Hotel Experience is now in its second year of a multimillion-dollar rebrand. HX is North America’s largest trade event for hotel and foodservice owners, executives, directors, and GMs from across the hospitality spectrum, and manufacturers and marketers of all things hospitality.
