The sixth edition of\u00a0Arab Luxury World<\/strong>, the Middle East’s leading luxury business conference, has announced new speakers and an array of workshops to this year’s edition. Taking place on\u00a0Wednesday, June 12th<\/sup>and Thursday, June 13th<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0at the JW Marriott Marquis Dubai, the conference serves as a dynamic platform for regional and global professionals from the luxury industry to engage in meaningful discussions about the latest trends and core challenges facing businesses today.<\/p>\n

“This year’s edition of Arab Luxury World notably features an educational theme focused on topics that will help attendees future-proof their businesses. In addition to various panels that will highlight crucial technological innovations such as Big Data and Blockchain, which have the potential to hugely disrupt luxury and other industries, we’re taking a step further with stand-alone workshops. The latter will be led by thought leaders who will share their expertise on important topics such as Communications and successfully expanding to the ever-important Chinese market<\/em>,” says Alexandre Hawari, CEO of Mediaquest.<\/p>\n

This year’s theme,\u00a0Digital Transformation Focusing on Data and Premium Retail<\/strong>, addresses how the luxury industry has evolved in today’s changing climate.\u00a0Keynote addresses will be delivered by influential speakers, including an interview by the renowned\u00a0Media Personality, TV Host and Content Producer of Dubai TV, Diala Makki, with Valerie Messika, Founder and Creative Director of Messika Paris<\/strong>, who will share the inside scoop on how Messika Paris democratized diamonds, the importance of collaborating with fashion models to grow the reach of luxury brands, and ways to leverage technology and drive sales in the social commerce era;\u00a0Cyrille Fabre, Partner and Head of Consumer Products & Retail Middle East at Bain & Company Middle East,\u00a0<\/strong>who will share insights on the rise of ecommerce backed by a new generation of millennials,\u00a0 and will shed light on how the economic situation and retail landscape have stabilized in parts of the region but continue to be difficult in others; and Prof. Moran Cerf, Professor of Neuroscience and Business at the Kellogg School of Management<\/strong>,\u00a0who will discuss new ways by which companies can use the recent research in neuroscience to understand their customers better, align messages with audiences in more accurate ways and target and segment individuals by understanding their desires and interests better.<\/p>\n

Day Two of the conference will feature workshops with participation from industry leaders to lend greater depth to the conference sessions and to further drive collaboration and empowerment for attending professionals.\u00a0The Luxury Hive<\/strong>\u00a0will conduct a special afternoon workshop that will facilitate a better understanding of personality structures with a view to develop the means to successfully operate and communicate in times of intense stress. The\u00a0Luxurynsight\u00a0<\/strong>workshop, ‘Understanding Chinese Tourists 2.0<\/strong>‘, will answer questions on how to develop strategies to engage luxury’s largest and fastest growing consumer group: before, during and after their trip to the region.\u00a0Today, Chinese consumers represent 33% of the luxury industry. 75% of their purchases are made outside of\u00a0China, with the Middle East projected to be one of their top shopping destinations for 2020. Engaging with these Chinese consumers is more important than ever.<\/p>\n

“As always, our goal is to provide significant value to Arab Luxury World attendees. #ArabLuxuryWorld19 will be a highly educational experience, revolving around a specific theme: Digital Transformation. Over the course of the two days, we want attendees to gain from new insights and business connections that can help them grow their impact in the world of luxury, and we’ve crafted the agenda in a manner that facilitates plenty of opportunities for that to happen<\/em>,”\u00a0says Hawari.<\/p>\n

First launched in 2014, the Arab Luxury World conference has gone from strength to strength and has seen thousands of industry professionals and 370 speakers share invaluable knowledge and insights on the growing luxury market.\u00a0Now in its sixth year, Arab Luxury World has grown into a global networking platform that is generously supported by key movers in the industry, including\u00a0Laha<\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>Jamalouki<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0OMD<\/em>\u00a0as the Gold Sponsors;\u00a0Linkedin, Marriott International Luxury Brand<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0MMP World Wide<\/em>\u00a0as the Silver Sponsors;\u00a0Luxurynsight, Teads<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Luxury Hive<\/em>\u00a0as the Bronze Sponsors;\u00a0Z7 Communications<\/em>\u00a0as the Luxury PR Partner;\u00a0Careem<\/em>\u00a0as the Official Transportation Partner;\u00a0The Marketing Boutique<\/em>\u00a0as the Marketing Partner;\u00a0LIGHTBLUE<\/em>\u00a0as the Content Partner;\u00a0Fleurology<\/em>\u00a0as the Floral Partner and\u00a0Arab News<\/em>,\u00a0Haya, Savoir Flair<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The New York Times<\/em>as the Media Partners.<\/p>\n
