Shoptalk Luxe aims to be luxury Retail’s new compass
From 27 to 29 January 2026, Abu Dhabi will host the inaugural edition of Shoptalk Luxe at the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, marking a strategic expansion of the globally recognised Shoptalk series into the luxury retail domain. This three‑day gathering is designed for senior leaders shaping the future of elevated retail experiences and premium commerce worldwide.
A new flagship for luxury retail innovation
Shoptalk Luxe positions itself as the world’s most senior forum for luxury and premium retail, bringing together over 2,000 decision‑makers (with approximately one in three at C‑suite level) alongside innovators, investors and technology pioneers. The event’s ambition is clear: to explore how heritage brands, emerging players and tech platforms can redefine customer experience, drive personalised engagement, and shape the next era of elevated commerce.
The programme features an extensive roster of 170+ speakers from some of the world’s most prestigious brands and organisations. Confirmed voices include fashion icon Vera Wang, Daniel Grieder (CEO, Hugo Boss), Michael Chalhoub (CEO, Chalhoub Group), and executives from Harrods, Christian Louboutin, Kering, ANINE BING and more. Through case studies, keynotes and debates, these leaders will tackle critical shifts in luxury, from digital acceleration and brand desirability to immersive storytelling and global market strategies.
As usual in the Shoptalk concept, networking will have an important place. The Meetup programme will be in full swing with co‑matched meetings, one‑on‑one connections between retailers, brands, startups and solution providers.
