Luxury Symposium | 10th Anniversary Edition
A Milestone Edition: A Look Back at the 10th Anniversary Luxury Symposium
On 11 May 2026, the French Chamber in Hong Kong celebrated a decade of insight and influence with the landmark 10th Anniversary Edition of the Luxury Symposium. Held at Rosewood Hong Kong, the milestone event convened over 400 industry leaders for a half-day of compelling discussions and meaningful exchange, cementing the conference's reputation as Asia’s must-attend gathering for luxury professionals.
Exploring Transformative Luxury and Asia's Reinvention
The discussions charted a course through the most pressing topics shaping the industry, from cultural shifts and reimagined retail to Asia’s emergence as the new epicentre of luxury reinvention.
Masterfully hosted by Divia Harilela, the day started with the opening remarks by our Guest of Honour, Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, the symposium offered a comprehensive view of a fast-moving industry and Hong Kong’s unique role within it.
A Programme Designed to Explore, Connect and Elevate
Structured into two key chapters, the programme delivered a dynamic flow of perspectives from the industry's most influential voices:
- Part 1: Cultural Shifts and Key Pillars of Transformative Luxury: A deep dive into the new frontiers of desire, exploring how community, experience, hospitality, and talent are reshaping the meaning of luxury for today's discerning consumer.
- Part 2: Asia: The New Epicentre of Luxury Reinvention: An exploration of the new Asian luxury landscape, focusing on China's evolving identity, the rise of its native brands, and the unique global position of Hong Kong as a place where East meets West.
The quality of the discussions and the vibrant energy throughout the day confirmed the Luxury Symposium’s position as one of Asia’s leading forums for luxury industry leaders.
