Join us in New York on Wednesday, October 14, 2026
The world's premier luxury real estate and design conference for luxury professionals
A production of Luxury Roundtable and Luxury Marketer with Brown Harris Stevens, FirstTeam and UBS Gramercy Wealth Management Group
Why attend and focus Here's what this conference will address and why you need to attend: What is the trajectory of the luxury real estate and design business in the United States and overseas? How is buyer and seller behavior evolving that will impact the luxury property business? How are purveyors of luxury goods and services addressing demand and supply and what lessons can professionals in real estate and design apply? How to correctly gauge generational attitudes to wealth and ownership of luxury goods and real estate? How are new consumers entering the market as wealth is generated at an unprecedented clip and what sort of amenities and designs appeal to those seeking to age in residence as well as Millennials now in their prime-buying years? What is the up with the collector market? What type of marketing and customer outreach is resonating? Also under discussion will be tax policy and geopolitical issues that influence home-buying and selling decisions.
Bottom line, delegates will walk away with solutions as well as indicators of the latest trends in design, architecture, amenities, health and wellness, sustainability, prop-tech, materials and construction.
Speakers of the Luxury Real Estate and Design Summit will tackle all of these opportunities and challenges, laying a roadmap for delegates. Equally important is the highly engaged networking at this summit, which is characteristic of all Luxury Roundtable conferences.

AI: How to Harness for Productivity, Analytics, Marketing and Customer Acquisition
AI is already reshaping how top producers operate — from cinematic listing videos to pricing presentations to client matching.

Why Service is Becoming the Defining Differentiator in Branded Residences

Owners expect the same level of intuitive, seamless and anticipatory service they receive at the world's leading luxury hotels, making service excellence critical to satisfaction, loyalty and long-term asset value.

Generational Wealth and Family Dynamics: Bridging the Buyer Markets
The Great Wealth Transfer is the defining macro force in luxury real estate right now. Gen X and millennials are set to inherit $4.6 trillion in global real estate wealth over the next decade — with the U.S. capturing 52 percent of that transfer. Parents are increasingly buying luxury properties for adult children now rather than waiting for inheritance, and nearly one in five luxury purchases involves multigenerational living intentions. Agents need to understand how to serve both sides of this equation: the boomer seller and the younger heir-buyer entering the market with cash, intention and very different priorities.
