Salon of Excellence is the most prestigious conference in Southeast Europe dedicated to the industry of luxury, high-end brands and masters of products characterized by the most exquisite handiwork. It is held in partnership with The Economist magazine and web portal luxlife.rs
For the sixth time in Belgrade, within the 24 Hours of Elegance event, on 10 September Belgraders are invited to Belgrade Waterfront’s spectacular hall, where they will have the opportunity to see and touch some of the most prestigious luxury brands today, but also to meet and talk to their creators, those who make the exclusive niche intended for the most demanding clients.
Considering that despite the various crises in recent years, the industry of luxury still shows very good sales, we should ask how and what they are doing that makes them sought and valued for decades, and some of the brands even over a century. The answer will come on Saturday, 10 September, from 15 to 17 hours at the Belgrade Waterfront, where visitors can expect panelists who will talk Aleksandar Đorđević, presenting DeGorsi Luxury Consulting, and try to bring you closer to the industry of luxury, the businesses that belong to it, but also some, perhaps unexpected segments that make it, such as classic cars, supercars’ applied design, and contemporary art.
