Pack your bags and hop on a plane to Monte Carlo because the FT’s Business of Luxury Summit is back and stronger than ever. Now in its 19th year, this edition will be chaired by the FT’s fashion editor Lauren Indvik. With a weekend of discussion between the great mind of the luxury sector, the Summit is set to explore how the sector’s growth amidst the financial and geopolitical headwinds, how creativity pivots with changing consumer requirements, and the changing climate of the luxury sector with the new sustainability rules.

The weekend is a chance to gather an eclectic group of leading executives from the industry, policymakers and entrepreneurs to not only debate the changes in luxury but also probe what the future has in store. This year will see the gathering of the likes of Sidney Toledano, Chairman and CEO of LVMH Fashion Group, Priya Ahluwalia, Founder & Creative Director Ahluwalia and the Summit Guest of Honour: His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco. But it’s just thought-provoking keynotes to entertain but the weekend is welcomed in with a drinks reception and a glamorous gala black-tie dinner providing lots of time to develop your relationships between luxury leaders.
