2022 Trends Report

Now in its fourteenth edition, our annual hospitality trends report produced by af&co. and Carbonate has become an anticipated industry resource. The report is intended to serve as a guide to help the hospitality industry prepare for the coming year.

This year’s theme reflects the topsy-turvy nature of the last two years, with the ground constantly shifting beneath our feet, and the need to chart a novel path forward in this strange new world.

Join us as we go down the rabbit hole, exploring the food, beverage, hotel, sustainability, marketing, and design trends that will shape the year to come…

Our Charitable Partners

We’re excited to share that in conjunction with this year’s report, af&co. and Carbonate will be raising funds for two incredible charitable organizations that support hospitality professionals, and specifically, women in the industry: The LEE Initiative’s Women Culinary and Spirits Program and the James Beard Foundation’s Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership Program. af&co. and Carbonate have committed to matching up to $5,000 per charity, which means a possible $10,000 donation to each organization.

Contributions can be made directly to either organization through the custom links* here:
