A Bold New Take on the Future of Luxury Retail

📍 Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi
📅 January 27–29, 2026

If you’ve ever attended Shoptalk Las Vegas, you know it’s more than a conference—it’s where the future of retail takes shape. From the energy of the sessions to the serendipity of meetings in hallways and lounges, Shoptalk has earned its place as the most forward-looking event in e-commerce.

Now, for the first time, the Shoptalk team is bringing that same disruptive energy into the luxury space with the launch of Shoptalk Luxe—a new global event focused on the reinvention of high-end retail, lifestyle brands, and the evolving world of luxury commerce.

And the setting? Nothing less than the iconic Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, January 27–29, 2026.

Not Just Another Luxury Conference

Shoptalk Luxe is being positioned as an invite-only, high-touch experience for senior leaders driving change in the luxury industry—from legacy fashion houses to next-generation DTC icons, encompassing beauty and wellness, hospitality, and real estate.

The agenda promises:

• A global speaker lineup with real operators, not just figureheads
• Thoughtfully curated 1:1 networking with decision-makers
• A sharp focus on customer experience, AI, loyalty, retail tech, and global expansion
• And, as always with Shoptalk—zero fluff, maximum insight

Why It Matters

Luxury retail is at an inflection point. Global consumers are more digital, more value-driven, and more culturally fluid than ever. Meanwhile, the Middle East is rising as both a growth engine and a playground for innovation—making Abu Dhabi a natural choice to host this kind of global dialogue.

For those of us who’ve seen what Shoptalk can do for the retail conversation, this new chapter feels like the right move, at exactly the right time.

🛫 We’ll be watching closely—and reporting live from Abu Dhabi in January.
