Barcelona will host the Business of Luxury Summit 2025, the most influential international event in the luxury sector, organized by the Financial Times. From May 18 to 20, 2025, Hotel Arts will be the epicenter of the luxury industry, bringing together global leaders to discuss strategies, investments, and sustainability that will shape the future of the high-end market.
The 21st edition of the Business of Luxury Summit will feature prominent speakers such as Damien Bertrand (CEO of Loro Piana), Kristina Blahnik (CEO of Manolo Blahnik), Marc Puig (President and CEO of Puig), and Kristian Teär (CEO of Bang & Olufsen). Over three days, experts will analyze the trends and challenges of the sector, focusing on how geopolitics, sustainability, and technology are transforming global luxury.
Under the theme “The New Shape of Global Luxury,” key issues such as new strategies for attracting an increasingly exclusive clientele, high-net-worth investments, U.S. tariff policies, and the role of the Chinese market in the evolution of global luxury will be discussed. The event will also include high-level networking experiences, such as a champagne reception and a gala dinner, to foster connections among industry leaders.
Barcelona’s selection as the host city for this prestigious event reinforces its position as a key player in the global luxury landscape, strategically connected to the new dynamics of premium consumption.
