New epicentre of luxury with the Business of Luxury Summit. Accommodation at the Hotel Alma Barcelona
Barcelona continues to consolidate its position as a world leader in staging first-class events, a trend underpinned by the recent news that the Business of Luxury Summit is relocating to the Catalan capital. This prestigious event, organised each year by the renowned British newspaper The Financial Times, will be holding its 21st edition in Barcelona from 18 to 20 May 2025. The decision was announced at the closing ceremony of the last edition in Venice, marking a significant milestone for the Catalan capital.
The Business of Luxury Summit
The Business of Luxury Summit brings together some 500 senior figures from the most influential companies in the sector. Over three days, the attendees take part in conferences, round tables, information sessions and an intense networking agenda. Unlike other events, this summit does not follow a trade fair format, instead taking place at conference venues supplemented by receptions and activities at different points around the host city.
Opportunities to make contacts are essential at this type of event. The preliminary programme for the Barcelona edition already features a number of notable networking opportunities, beginning on Sunday 18 May 2025 with welcome drinks and dinner for the delegates. A formal gala will be held on Monday 19, followed by an after dinner with drinks, while business lunches will be organised on Tuesday 20.
