The Financial Times is delighted to announce details of the 2012 FT Business of Luxury Summit, the premier thought-leadership event evaluating the key issues facing luxury businesses. This renowned Summit, now in its eighth year, will take place in Marrakech, Morocco and will commence with a welcome reception on 30 May with plenary sessions on 31 May and 1 June. The theme for the 2012 Summit is The Lifestyle Revolution. The programme will explore the increased intermingling of luxury and lifestyle. What are the risks and rewards associated with a traditional luxury brand expanding its offering to include furniture, home wares, food, hotels, apartment houses and other experiences (and vice versa)? What are the forces driving the evolution and the costs, both material and in terms of brand equity, involved?
