Leaders in Luxury Middle East builds on its success in 2008 to bring you even more relevant content, provide greater networking opportunities and reveal even more insights this year. Hear directly from our keynote speakers what to expect and why you should join them at Leaders in Luxury Middle East:

Why are you looking forward to speaking at Leaders in Luxury Middle East?
Christian Blanckaert, Executive Vice President, Hermès International

I only speak when I feel I have something to say. This will be the first time I have spoken in the Middle East and actually I tend to speak very rarely. What I hope to do by speaking is to provoke and stimulate thought.

Why are you personally looking forward to attending Leaders in Luxury Middle East?
Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti, CEO, Vivre

I have been speaking at the US & Europe conferences for 3 years now and always value the knowledge sharing, quality of delegates and great content. I'm particularly looking forward to sharing insights and experiences with other speakers and attendees at Leaders in Luxury Middle East.

And even in difficult times like these why do you think it's important that people still attend conferences?
Jean-Claude Biver,CEO, Hublot

The more we attend conferences, the more we continue to develop with our activities, the more we continue to share with our peers the better. Now is not the moment to stop. Now is the moment to invest, but in what? We must invest in innovation, we must invest in marketing, we must invest more - not less!
