"We will be addressing new hospitality landscapes and discussing the future for these spaces - for the now and far beyond," Wang says. "I'll be touching upon how good design can inspire a realm of new possibilities and lasting solutions, and the approach our studio takes to crafting memorable interiors shaped around the guest experience."

"There is definitely a renewed energy and spirit across the design world: a desire to do something different, a shift toward an increasingly global perspective and renewed sense of collaboration across borders," she adds, noting how the hospitality industry is embracing remote work.
