FT Business of Luxury Summit 2013 Power, Politics and Profits 2-4 June 2013 | Palais Liechtenstein, Vienna, Austria
The Financial Times would like to thank the attendees of the ninth annual Business of Luxury Summit which took place from 2-4 June 2013 in Vienna. The Summit brought together around 400 senior luxury executives, industry leaders, corporate decision makers and financiers from around the world.
As luxury increasingly stands alone as one of the healthiest, and still-growing industries during the global recession, its profile as a success story, employer, and fiscal contributor is becoming ever-greater, not just in the economic world, but in the political world as well. The 2013 Summit discussed what this means for the sector as well as individual brands, how it can be used to best benefit luxury, and what the flash points of the situation are, from manufacturing to cross-border trade agreements to effective ownership structures.
