In a bold move to redefine the landscape of luxury, Bugatti recently hosted its inaugural “Luxury Summit” at the Château Saint Jean in Molsheim. Gathering a star-studded panel of experts from diverse fields, the summit served as a thought-provoking platform to address evolving consumer behavior, the role of technology, and the importance of sustainability in the high-end market.
Professor Ashok Som kickstarted the discussion with an incisive keynote on how the COVID-19 pandemic has altered consumer expectations. He argued that luxury brands must now prioritize a seamless multi-channel experience that blends the physical and digital realms. Following this, a panel led by Nathalie Remy of Bain & Company plunged deeper into what exactly constitutes a ‘luxury’ retail and hospitality experience.
