The 2011 Summit will focus on the key economic issues facing the luxury industry today, including managing currency movements, costs, pricing and anti-counterfeiting—plus an assessment of the revival of mergers and acquisitions.
Attendees will have an opportunity to gain incisive market intelligence from industry peers, join debates and hear the results of specially commissioned consumer spending research.
