Let’s Reimagine Together the (Positive) Future of Luxury! (February 2024)
Reimagining the way we live is a critical step towards taking the action that is needed--shifting from talking about impact to achieving a positive outcome for the environment and society. The symposium will empower "the reimaginers" to take action and bring about change by offering frameworks and concrete examples from luxury industry leaders such as LVMH, L’Oreal and Kering. Whether you are an industry professional with years of experience or just starting out, the symposium will help accelerate your path towards positive change
