Business of Luxury Summit

Global uncertainty is once again weighing heavily on the luxury industry, with the war in the Middle East undermining expectations of a near-term economic recovery. Sales are slowing across key markets as disrupted travel and weakened demand hit even the sector’s strongest players. Is a rebound still on the horizon or are we entering a more sustained period of volatility? How can brands reinvent their strategies to sustain long-term customer value?

The Financial Times Business of Luxury Summit returns next year to explore the forces redefining the sector, from customer expectations and brand relevance to new approaches in creativity, operations, AI and growth strategy. Join us at the Beau Rivage in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 23-25 May 2027 for high-level interviews, sharp industry insight and unmatched opportunities to connect with global luxury leaders.
