The 2010 Platinum Circle honorees for Hospitality Design, Contract magazine's sister publication, have been announced and will be celebrated on Wednesday, May 19 at 6:30 p.m. in the Venetian Ballroom in Las Vegas.

For the past two decades, Platinum Circle has been awarded to industry luminaries—architects, designers, owner/operators, purchasers—who have demonstrated the highest degree of excellence throughout their careers. This year's honorees include: the founders of BAMO, San Francisco (Pamela Babey, David Moulton, Gerry Jue, Michael Booth); Todd-Avery Lenahan, ABA Design Studio, Las Vegas; Kirk Nix, KNA Interior Design, Los Angeles; and Stephen Starr, Starr Restaurants, Philadelphia. 

In addition, the evening will also recognize WATG on their 65th anniversary.

The party is held in conjunction with the 2010 Hospitality Design Exposition & Conference (HD Expo) and will include an announcement of the IIDA/HD New Product awards. For ticket information, please visit www.hdexpo.com. Attire is black tie festive.
