500 guests to visit
It draws on the collective influence of Condé Nast International’s publications, and the vision and knowledge of Suzy Menkes, the world’s most renowned fashion journalist and international
editor. The conference, believed to be the most significant event for the luxury and fashion industries, is expected to attract 500 top-level attendees from more than 30 countries, and will bring together decision-makers, influencers, and innovators from both the business and the creative sides.
Attendees can expect two days of story-telling, experience-sharing, and contact and networkbuilding, that only a premium live event can provide.
The conference was held last year in South Korea, and the year before that in France.
The programme will explore how new wealth and untapped markets are the next great source of growth for the luxury industry in the 21st century. Speakers will include international business and creative leaders, as well as luxury observers and disruptors.
Themes of the 2017 Luxury Conference include new markets for the luxury industry and targeting bright spots of wealth and growth; reigniting consumer desire; luxury for the “post-luxury” world; and the evolution of global trade routes.
Place Vendôme Qatar and Oman Air are the co-lead partners for the conference, along with host partner Port Sultan Qaboos Waterfront.
“The Condé Nast International Luxury Conference 2017 will explore the vast reach of 21st century luxury. Oman stands at the nexus of this global trade, offering a unique perspective that encompasses India to the Far East, Europe to Arabia,” Menkes, the curator of the conference, commented.
Maha Al Lamki, Oman’s representative at the Condé Nast International Luxury Conference, and also the owner and founder of MCO Group of Companies, said, “Personally, it is a privilege to be involved with the CNI luxury conference next year, and it is an immense opportunity for the Sultanate of Oman to showcase its vast heritage and culture. It is a global exposure that Oman will witness in 2017.”
