Looking back | Luxury & Retail Committee

The Luxury & Retail committee acts as a platform for discussions, sharing of insights, and business networking amongst those involved in the luxury goods and retail industry, fashion and high-end beauty activities. The september 2019 edition of the FBC Luxury and Retail committee gathered more than 90 participants with the kind support of the Chalhoub Group.

The FBC Luxury and Retail committee started with an insightful keynote speech by Patrick Chalhoub, CEO of Chalhoub Group, on how consumers’ changing behavior pushes retail to adapt to high expectations. “The retail in the GCC is undergoing a massive transformation as it is happening everywhere. In this context we need to engage more with the consumer and create an emotional connection with her.” said Patrick Chalhoub.

This first part was followed by a fruitful panel discussion on Saudi Arabia market, “a land of opportunities for the luxury brands ?” with our speakers Jean-Marc Shammas - Piaget, Youssef Benkirane - L’Oreal Luxe, Christophe Penne - Rubaiyat Fashion Group panel and moderated by Cyrille Fabre, Bain & Company.
