Embrace the spirit of Cloud Dancer at our Annual NEWH New England Region Celebrates Hospitality Gala on Thursday, April 9th at 6pm.

Join us as we celebrate the essence of Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201)—a color symbolizing renewal, endless possibilities, and the gentle strength of a fresh start.

Laurie Pressman from the Pantone Color Institute stated, “Similar to a blank canvas, Cloud Dancer signifies our desire for a fresh start,” allowing imagination to flow freely and inspiring bold new ideas to take shape.

Motivated by this idea, our event invites the hospitality design community to pause, reflect, and envision the future of our region. Through dialogue, creativity, and teamwork, we honor the concepts that unite us and the vision that propels us onward.

Every new journey starts with a clean slate.

We invite our community to embrace that opportunity.

Guests are encouraged to wear a color that embodies their personality, creativity, or perspective. Whether bold or subtle, vibrant or refined—your chosen color becomes your signature, reflecting the individuality that makes our design community thrive.

Our only request? Arrive in a color that authentically represents who you are.

The most captivating compositions are shaped by the collective, not a single voice, with each perspective adding richness, contrast, and vitality to the whole.

A new beginning.
A bold expression.
A blank slate.

Join us as we gather our industry—designers, partners, makers, and innovators—to chart a new course together, beginning Thursday, April 9, 2026. See you there!
