This daylong event is designed to help luxury professionals and organizations in sectors such as real estate and design, as well as fashion and leather goods, retail, marketing, travel and hospitality, food, wines and spirits, beauty, automotive, jets, yachts, art and auctions, sports, jewelry, nonprofits and education.
Under discussion will be the state of AI, the use case for the technology, how to deploy the various AI engines and platforms and AI in marketing. Experts will also offer valuable tips on how to build out AI infrastructure and talent, the chatbot experience, agentic AI, reputation management and AI dos and don'ts.
The AI in Luxury Summit promises to be the definitive networking-oriented conference for luxury professionals who want to get it right with AI.
Focus Join us at Luxboro and Luxury Roundtable's AI in Luxury Summit on Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026 to deliberate how professionals in the larger luxury ecosystem should use AI to gain a business edge while balancing high touch, high tech and high trust in a relationship business.

The AI Use Case: Context and Utility
AI can properly be regarded as the fourth tech wave since the 1990s, with the Internet's World Wide Web, ecommerce and mobile being the predecessors and even progenitors. What role does AI play in discovery, lead generation, dynamic pricing and transactions as well as reputation management, personalization, creative, content creation, CRM and marketing? How to track and measure AI's effectiveness post-execution? How should luxury organizations – be they brands, brokerages, networks or design firms – develop the architecture, data warehouses and infrastructure of AI that plugs into upgraded legacy systems? Do chatbots have a place in the luxury ecosystem? How to guarantee quality and reliable AI-generated code? How to develop the talent pool for AI? What is the long-term strategy to align innovation with customer value and ROI?

AI in Marketing: Deployment for Mundane-to-Complex Initiatives
Artificial intelligence, be it generative AI or agentic, will soon be the blood that courses through marketing's veins. How can AI help marketing in its primary goal: creating awareness and desire for a product or service through targeted outreach to gain and retain customers? How should luxury professionals, especially agents, brokers, sales associates, managers and leaders, turn to AI for customization of content and creative, dynamic websites and apps, customer segmentation and targeting, database mining and marketing, and research and trend analysis? What role do chatbots play in a business that requires elevated customer service? How can AI help with CRM, search engine and generative engine optimization?

UBS: How Companies are Deploying AI
PRESENTATION
Corporate America and even companies overseas have never adapted to a technology as swiftly as they have done to absorb AI within their organizations. How are they using AI? Which areas has AI been deployed in and to what end? And what are the potential opportunities looking ahead for use of AI?
Sunny Mehra, CIO equity strategist – U.S. consumer, UBS Financial Services

Agentic AI: Future of Intelligence
Agentic AI will meet its full potential when artificial general intelligence (AGI) is achieved. At that point – and it's when, and not if – AI will match or surpass human intelligence. So here are the questions that luxury professionals and organizations will face: How will agentic AI reshape work and workflows? What forms of verification, configuration and assurance will come into play to deliver safe and reliable agentic AI adoption? What sort of training will be needed to upskill for agentic AI use? Most important, how far should agentic AI go and how will it define work for professionals and organizations?

Reputation Management: How to Become the Agent, Sales Professional or Brand that AI Recommends in Your Market
The nature of search is fast-changing with older engines such as Google now offering up AI-generated summaries as the first search result and newer upstarts such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Perplexity's Claude becoming the first point of queries for information and research. So how should luxury professionals – real estate agents and brokers or sales associates and managers at luxury brands across all sectors – become one of the top picks delivered in AI search results? What should these professionals and organizations do to optimize their digital presence online and on mobile to gain visibility and top ranking when consumers query and prompt AI engines?

AI and Legal Liability
The legal exposure in AI has already been tested with numerous lawsuits underway, from Elon Musk's suit against OpenAI to The New York Times' case against the same OpenAI, among many others alleging IP theft, copyright violation and trade-secrets violations. The fight between generative AI and copyright law will intensify as creative organizations vigorously resist the use of their work for training AI models. But lay users may also become exposed as autonomous AI assistants reshape the digital landscape. How should luxury professionals and organizations allocate responsibility when AI causes harm? What is the governance structure to ensure transparency, accountability, security, performance and high standards? How to account for evolving U.S., E.U. and Asian regulations? What caveats should AI users heed? What are the ethics walls?
