The Financial Times has announced the return of the prestigious Business of Luxury Summit, scheduled to take place from 19-21 May in Venice, Italy.
Marking its 20th annual gathering, the Business of Luxury Summit returns to Venice, one of Europe’s most iconic and celebrated cities. In a country renowned for its luxury goods heritage, the Summit will explore the changes in the industry over the past two decades and look forward to the next 20 years of innovation.
The luxury goods sector continues to grow despite significant economic and geopolitical uncertainty. What can the industry do to maintain this positive outlook? How can businesses adapt to accommodate the increasing demands of their consumers? Where will the next big deals come from?
