London UK, (September 6, 2007): The world’s major conference for the luxury industry finally arrives in London. Recognizing London as the global capital of 21st Century luxury this is the industry’s annual meeting place for business insight, strategy, financing and leadership.

The World Luxury Congress is a high-level strategic conference that caters specifically to the information needs of the luxury market. Supported by Walpole and the Luxury Institute the programme explores the current state of the luxury market and what is in store for 2008 and beyond.

David Tang and Guy Salter have promised to pull no punches as they hold up a mirror to the luxury industry and give a frank assessment of where they perceive the industry to be. There is no guarantee these luxury experts will agree on what they see staring back or what is the way forward. Which will make it all the more interesting.

The speaking panel also includes Alfred Dunhill, Jaeger, Marival, Gieves & Hawkes, Ferre, Daks, Axa Private Equity, Swarovski, Bentley Motors and many more. Discussion topics will include the finance of luxury, expanding without diluting brand value, fostering relationships and keeping your clients loyal, breathing life into established brands and pushing your brand successfully into new markets.
The World Luxury Congress will take place between 22 – 24 October 2007 at the prestigious Mayfair Radisson Edwardian Hotel in London. The full agenda and event updates are available at www.worldluxurycongress.com
