Business of Luxury Summit
The luxury sector is at a turning point. Last year it lost around 20 million consumers as shoppers cut back, traded down or shifted spending to experiences and pre-owned luxury. Amid economic uncertainty and shifting trade dynamics, how can brands protect margins, rethink pricing and supply chains, and hold on to long-term customer value?
The Financial Times Business of Luxury Summit 2026 brings together global leaders to examine the forces reshaping luxury, from consumer behaviour to creative and commercial strategy. Join us in Puglia, Italy, on 17-19 May for powerful interviews, thought-provoking panels and exclusive networking opportunities.
