Business of Luxury
Summit – Asia Edition

The Asia-Pacific region continues to shape the future of the global luxury industry, with its fast-evolving consumer base, expanding wealth, and dynamic markets driving growth for leading international brands. From the established hubs of Hong Kong and Tokyo to emerging destinations across Southeast Asia and India, Asia remains at the centre of innovation, creativity and opportunity for luxury players worldwide.

This October, the Financial Times will host the Asian edition of the Business of Luxury Summit in Bangkok. The Summit will convene Asian luxury leaders alongside investors, brand executives, entrepreneurs and industry professionals to explore future trends and unlock new avenues for growth across the region. Featuring a full-day conference preceded by an elegant welcome reception and gala dinner, this is an unmissable celebration of luxury in one of Asia’s most dynamic and culturally rich capitals.

What to expect

The Summit will take place at Capella Bangkok, an award-winning sanctuary set on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, celebrated for its panoramic views, villa-style privacy and one of the city’s most coveted dining destinations. Moments away, Bangkok’s energy unfolds across world-class retail, hospitality and cultural landmarks, underscoring its growing influence within the global luxury landscape.
