This year's Summit was set firmly on the future: while there are great challenges still to overcome, the key message was that the luxury recovery will be fast, with the sector on the brink of a radical renaissance.
The Summit was designed to equip guests with some of the insights, trends and themes that will help their brands sprint out of the post-Covid starting gates in pursuit of luxury’s next boom.
During the event, guests heard about the road map for luxury growth; digital transformation; China; and the changing face of luxury and a crucial focus on relevance. There were also sessions on culture and creativity, and sustainability, purpose and innovation. The day was intended to provide a robust toolkit of information, insight and inspiration to help brands take advantage of those opportunities ahead.
We will be sharing insights from the event in the coming weeks; please scroll down to see full images from the day.
