2019-Conference.jpg

Thank you to our speakers, sponsors, and guests for an amazingly successful 13th annual conference! Stay tuned for the next one.


For the past 12 years, the Luxury & Retail Club at New York University's Leonard Stern School of Business has hosted our annual conference bringing together top graduate students with leading industry professionals in Luxury, Retail, Hospitality & Spirits, and Consulting.

Our goal is to create a forum where current topics in luxury and retail can be discussed by industry leaders in an academic environment. This year’s conference theme is Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Incubation. The retail space is constantly evolving—we hope to highlight how top companies are viewing the future of retail to remain relevant within a competitive global landscape.
