Redefining Luxury
Signature|June 2017

Oman played host to high octane luxury, glamour and knowledge-sharing when the third annual Condé Nast International Luxury Conference was held in the capital in April.

Redefining Luxury

Curated and hosted by Suzy Menkes, International Vogue Editor, the event’s theme for this year was Mindful Luxury. An illustrious portfolio of international speakers arrived in Oman for the two-day conference that was held at Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa.

Jonathan Newhouse, Chairman and CEO of Condé Nast International, initiated the first day’s activities with talk on the theme of the conference and the decision to choose Oman as the venue. “We have been feeling the change of winds in the luxury industry. This conference is not about the luxury world. It is rather a reality check on the buy, buy, buy world that we live in. This is where mindful luxury comes in and we see that Oman is a natural fit,” he said.
