Conference theme: Managing Luxury in the Circular Economy

The 1st International Society for Luxury Management (ISLUX) Meeting stands as a forum to bring together managers, scholars, practitioners, students, and consumers around luxury management. In the very first event, hosted and supported by EDC Paris Business School and Sup de Lux (The Institut Superieur de Marketing du Luxe) in Paris, France on March 7, 2024, we will discuss “Managing Luxury in the Circular Economy.” Merging the experience of those who produce and consume luxury with cutting-edge research on the subject, ISLUX’s inaugural conference aims to create interfaces that favour the understanding of issues specific to the universe of luxury.
