The Financial Times is delighted to announce that the 2015 FT Business of Luxury Summit will take place on 7-9 June in the spectacular setting of Monte Carlo on the Côte d'Azur.
The Summit is widely regarded as the premium thought leadership gathering for senior luxury executives, industry leaders, corporate decision makers and financiers from around the world. In its second decade, the FT Business of Luxury returns to Europe to discuss Technology, Legacy and the New Consumer. How can the industry best deal with the competing imperatives of promoting traditional workmanship, and harness the speed and accessibility of new technologies? Can luxury deliver in a click-to-buy culture? What lessons can the huge luxury conglomerates learn from small start-ups?
Now that geographical expansion isn't necessarily the only route for growth, a stronger online strategy and presence has taken on a greater urgency. What is the phy-gital revolution, and how are brands engaging with the new consumer? Is the internet really the new China?
How do you promote a return to "organic" growth in a lightening quick retail environment? Moreover, how does a brand built on heritage and history, enshrine its legacy for tomorrow?
Essential debate, ideas and innovation.
