American Express had already slimmed down their annual 2 day Luxury Summit (in Florida) to two, one day meetings in New York and Los Angeles, to reduce the cost of participating. But now, probably based on slow registrations, the event has been cancelled all together. This is a shame – from my experience it was the best event in the ‘luxury marketing’ space, and attendance in the past was always strong, in terms of breadth and quality of delegates. I hope the event returns (along with the economy) – but this can be tricky to pull off: once people live without an event (and the expense), they realise they can.
