As the co-founding partner of Hotel Interiors Experience (HIX Europe), Commercial Interiors UK (CIUK) will once again support the event as an important platform for the hospitality interiors sector and for CIUK-accredited members exhibiting at the show.
HIX Europe continues to bring together the design, hotel and supplier communities, creating opportunities for connection, collaboration and specification across the hospitality interiors market. As the event enters its next chapter, including its move to ExCeL and a continued focus on growing its international audience, CIUK’s role remains centred on championing accredited members and helping visitors identify trusted suppliers across the show.
Commercial Interiors UK is also sharing the latest update from the HIX Europe team, outlining the event’s next chapter, including the move to ExCeL, plans to grow its international audience, and continued investment in the visitor and exhibitor experience.

Throughout HIX Europe, CIUK and our media outlet Design Insider will deliver a series of activities designed to increase visibility for accredited members before, during and after the event.
CIUK Member Map
The CIUK Member Map will return for HIX Europe, featuring all CIUK-accredited exhibitors and helping visitors identify and find trusted suppliers across the show.
Designed as a practical navigation tool, the map supports visitors in locating CIUK members quickly and easily. Previous maps have achieved more than 1,000 impressions and 400 reads, demonstrating their value as a visibility tool for members and a useful resource for the design and specification community.
CIUK Stand and Accredited Member Tent Cards
The CIUK team will be on stand throughout HIX Europe, where visitors will be able to collect the CIUK Member Map, meet the team, learn more about membership, and receive guidance on accredited suppliers exhibiting across the event.
CIUK will also visit accredited member stands with CIUK accredited member tent cards for display. This campaign has been created to help designers, specifiers, buyers and commercial clients identify and understand Trusted Suppliers by making CIUK accredited membership more visible across member showrooms, workplaces and event spaces.
Member Stand Video Content
Throughout the event, CIUK will also visit member stands with a videographer to capture moments from across the CIUK community.
This content will be promoted after the event to demonstrate the scale of accredited members exhibiting at HIX Europe and to celebrate the strength, expertise and visibility of the CIUK community within the hospitality interiors sector.
CIUK Networking Event
CIUK will host an exclusive networking event for members and designer guests during HIX Europe. The format will be confirmed as either a breakfast or lunch, offering a relaxed opportunity for members and invited guests to connect, share conversations and build relationships during the show.
Design Insider Loves
Design Insider will be active at the event through the Design Insider Loves campaign, visiting stands, highlighting selected products and details on social media stories, and placing Design Insider Loves labels on chosen products or installations. The campaign will provide additional visibility for selected member activity during the event, both on stand and across Design Insider’s social channels.
Design Insider Editorial and Moderation Opportunities
Design Insider will continue to offer its moderating package for members hosting talks or panel discussions on their HIX stand.
An event preview and post-event report will also be produced, with the full specification to follow in September. These editorial opportunities will further support member visibility before and after the event.
Together, this activity is designed to increase visibility for CIUK-accredited members, support visitor navigation, and help position trusted suppliers at the centre of the HIX Europe experience.
Through its partnership with HIX Europe, Commercial Interiors UK will continue to champion accredited members, strengthen sector connections, and highlight the scale and quality of the commercial interiors community.
