Luxury Real Estate and Design Summit 
Join us in New York on Thursday, Sept. 25
A joint production of Luxboro and Luxury Roundtable

Why attend In an era of increasing workplace automation and AI-led disruption, what will keep luxury professionals in real estate, design and beyond relevant to customers, prospects and industry colleagues?

AI’s promise to real estate, design, luxury goods and services, and other industries is to replicate the human touch to the extent technology can: analyzing global and local trends, mining data and crunching numbers, anticipating opportunities and threats, and automating work processes in record time.

And that is where professionals in the larger luxury real estate and design ecosystem – agents, brokers, designers, developers, proptech firms, materials suppliers and agencies – need to play up their reason for being: building and retaining strong relationships and trust with clients, prospects, industry colleagues, media and influencers.

How will the leading players in this ecosystem navigate a new AI- and automation-driven reality in 2026? What can luxury professionals learn from top luxury brands' actions, strategies and tactics to acquire and retain customers in a market roiled by tariffs, geopolitical upheaval, and inventory and demand challenges? What can Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Tiffany teach real estate about relationship building and the private client experience? This is the definitive summit to learn from – and network with – the best.

Focus Join us at Luxury Roundtable's Luxury Real Estate and Design Summit on Thursday, Sept. 25 to deliberate how professionals in the larger luxury real estate ecosystem navigate an environment where relationships and trust matter even more in an age of AI and automation. The event will gather luxury real estate agents, brokers, developers, designers, architects, proptech executives and marketers.

AI will Reshape the Larger Real Estate Ecosystem. Are We Prepared?
Artificial intelligence and its two step-up versions, artificial general intelligence and superior intelligence, will reshape the way consumers work and play in a manner no other technology has. While AI's virtues are easily evangelized in creative, marketing and product development, what is not clearly understood is the obvious end goal: to mimic – and even supplant – human intelligence. Where does this leave sectors such as real estate and the professionals who people this relationship-based trade? Is AI a friend, foe or frenemy to real estate?

Show and Tell: New Face of Marketing and Tech for Real Estate and Design
PANEL

Attracting, retaining and reactivating customers is the perennial challenge. For professionals in real estate and design, the current market scenario where customers may be skittish, inventory availability not even across geographies, margins under pressure and mortgage rates high is not helpful to stir desire and demand. So, what type of marketing and branding – be it PR, digital, print, mail, social, AI or events – should agents, brokers, designers, developers and proptech specialists rely on for the period ahead? How to allocate budgets and attention that generate listings acquisition and sales, home commissions and referrals?

UBS: Decoding the Current Era of Billionaire Wealth
PRESENTATION

Since 2015, the number of billionaires has risen by more than half and their combined wealth has more than doubled to $14 trillion. But this increase in wealth has leveled off since 2020, notably as conditions have forced China’s billionaire entrepreneurs to retrench. Also, billionaires have been moving domicile since the COVID-19 pandemic and they increasingly want their wealth to have a positive impact on the world. From a demographic point of view, billionaires’ families are growing, potentially leading to a major upsurge in inheritance and charitable giving among this group of people. How to communicate to them?
