Boca Raton Resort to Host Inaugural Cross-Sector Luxury Summit

The luxury industry will gain a dedicated leadership forum when the Luxury Summit debuts April 25-27, 2027, at The Boca Raton resort in South Florida, according to an announcement this week. The invitation-only event represents what organizers describe as the first U.S. gathering designed to convene senior executives across the complete spectrum of luxury sectors.

The inaugural summit will host 150 delegates from hospitality, travel, fashion, automotive, private aviation, yachting, high-end real estate, wealth management, and related industries serving affluent consumers. Attendance will be restricted by invitation to encourage frank discussion and substantive networking among participants, rather than operating as a traditional industry conference.

The Boca Raton, South Florida's only Forbes Quadruple Five-Star property and a private club, will curate the annual gathering. Programming will include keynote presentations, panel discussions, roundtable sessions, and optional culinary and wellness activities designed to facilitate relationship-building in smaller settings. "Luxury has become an interconnected economy, yet its leaders still gather in industry silos," said Daniel A. Hostettler, President and CEO of The Boca Raton. "We are creating Luxury Summit to change that—to create a thinktank where the people shaping the industry can compare notes across categories they don't normally compare."

Each summit will feature the release of a State of the Luxury Economy Report, an annual research publication tracking consumer behavior, leadership trends, and capital movements across luxury sectors. Organizers intend for the report to become a benchmark resource for executives and investors in the category.

The Boca Raton will partner with Montfort Group on production and programming. The advisory firm is led by Matthew Swift, who also serves as co-founder and CEO of Concordia, the nonpartisan leadership forum held annually during the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Swift emphasized the importance of assembling appropriate participants for effective industry dialogue, drawing on his experience with major convening organizations.
