Luxury Roundtable's Luxury Women Leaders Summit 2024 in New York on Thursday, June 13 will feature senior women executives sharing wisdom, insights and experiences with delegates as they seek to become major decision-makers and leaders
Want to meet some of the top women leaders in luxury?
Join us at the world’s key summit for women luxury professionals who lead, inspire and serve as role models to others in the business.
Delegates will learn from the best on how to manage up, down or sideways, state of HNW and UHNW women consumers, marketing to affluent women consumers across generations and what it takes to reach the C-suite. Also under discussion will be how female founders launched their brand, leading and managing a flagship store, skills to navigate tomorrow's luxury world and how to differentiate yourself and serve as a role model.
“Women make almost nine out of 10 decisions in purchases of luxury goods and services across most sectors, yet their representation in key leadership positions across companies in this universe is woefully inadequate,” said Mickey ALAM KHAN, CEO of Luxury Roundtable, New York.
“What Luxury Roundtable's Luxury Women Leaders Summit New York aims to do is bring smart women leaders together with those interested in learning from their experiences and applying those tips to their career,” he said.
Expect plenty of networking, as is the practice at Luxury Roundtable events.
The prior evening, Wednesday, June 12, delegates will be guests of the Apple flagship store on Madison Avenue on New York’s Upper East Side and get to experience the new Apple Vision Pro.
Why attend
This event is highly recommended for luxury professionals across all fields, including fashion and leather goods, retail, real estate, marketing, consultants, travel and hospitality, wealth management, automotive, beauty, watches and jewelry, wines and spirits, media and publishing, lawyers, tech and the arts, among others.
In 10 succinct sessions, delegates will not only gain insights but also build valuable relationships and connections in the luxury business. This is the only cross-sector event for luxury women leaders worldwide, and is worth attending simply for the caliber of speakers and attendees typical of Luxury Roundtable events.
