We are proud to announce the final listing of speakers, panels and workshops for the second Luxury Society Keynote, produced in association with Bloomberg
Following the success of our inaugural Luxury Society Keynote in London, we are delighted to share full details of our second event in New York City, again in partnership with Bloomberg.
Our first event in the United States will take place on Tuesday October 15, 2013, and will define wealth segments beyond popular buzzwords and examine the role the UHNWIs play in the consumption of luxury goods.
We understand that the time of luxury brand executives is precious, therefore we have put together a succinct afternoon program addressing specific questions, to allow attendees to leave with concrete strategies to apply to their operations.
In a bid to make the event valuable and engaging for delegates, the afternoon will mix panel sessions with interactive workshops, with keynote addresses from those who know ultra high net worth individuals most intimately.
Our attendance is restricted to luxury brand executives only, engineered to facilitate meaningful networking and business opportunities between a qualified audience. Please email keynote@luxurysociety.com to request an invitation.
