ABOUT

The BTLuxe Edit – Future:Legacy is a luxury symposium hosted as part of The Business Times’ 50th anniversary celebrations. The half-day conference brings together thought leaders, creative founders and cultural figures for an afternoon of conversation about the luxury landscape in Singapore and Asia – and how it’s being redefined for the future.

It also introduces The BTLuxe Edit – a power list of the legacy and emerging names that have defined luxury in Singapore and continue to take it to the next level.
