Commercial Interiors UK (CIUK) and our media outlet Design Insider have formalised a partnership with Elite Exhibitions, strengthening their presence across a series of internationally recognised events spanning Europe and the United States.
Covering CSI Design Expo Europe in Hamburg, CSI Design Expo Americas and Hotel & Resort Design South in Miami, alongside the Sustainable Design Summit, the partnership provides a platform for CIUK and Design Insider to engage with global audiences, contribute to industry dialogue, and support accredited suppliers within key international markets.
As the commercial interiors sector continues to evolve across regions, maintaining visibility within established and emerging markets is increasingly important. Through this partnership, CIUK and Design Insider are positioned within a programme of events that bring together designers, operators, developers and suppliers working across cruise, hospitality and commercial projects worldwide.
Strengthening Presence Across Key Markets
The partnership supports activity across both European and North American markets, ensuring consistent visibility within environments where commercial decisions are being shaped.
At CSI Europe and the Sustainable Design Summit, CIUK and Design Insider will contribute to the wider conversation through thought leadership and editorial engagement. This includes a moderator role for Design Insider Editor Alys Bryan, alongside a programme of interviews, curated features and post-event reporting.
In the United States, activity across CSI Americas and Hotel & Resort Design South will further extend Design Insider’s reach, connecting international audiences with sector insight, emerging trends and project-focused perspectives.
Extending Visibility Beyond The Show Floor
A key strength of the partnership lies in its integrated approach to visibility. Alongside presence at each event, Design Insider will deliver a programme of editorial content including pre-show interviews, curated “Top Picks” features and post-show sector reports. This ensures that engagement extends beyond the event itself, providing ongoing exposure across digital channels and industry networks.
Commercial Interiors UK will also support this visibility through its platform, with event promotion, newsletter coverage and the distribution of the CIUK Annual Directory to relevant audiences.
Supporting Accredited Suppliers
For CIUK accredited suppliers, the partnership provides an additional layer of visibility within international markets.
Those exhibiting at CSI events are supported through Design Insider editorial coverage, alongside inclusion within wider promotional activity across newsletters, social channels and industry communications. This creates a more connected presence, ensuring that supplier engagement is reinforced through both in-person and digital touchpoints.
By aligning event presence with editorial and promotional activity, the partnership supports a more consistent and visible representation of UK commercial interior expertise internationally.
A Connected Industry Approach
This partnership reflects a continued focus on collaboration, visibility and engagement across the commercial interiors sector.
Through a combination of event presence, editorial contribution and industry connection, CIUK and Design Insider continue to support meaningful interaction between suppliers, designers and decision-makers working across global projects.
As activity progresses across 2026 and 2027, the partnership provides a framework for ongoing visibility, insight and engagement within key international markets.
