Following a captivating event on May 8, 2024, at the Terazije Theatre, where Sascha Lilic, Tom Meggle, and Fares Ghattas provided profound insights into the world of luxury, The Luxury Network Adria Insight Series reached its peak.

We extend our sincere gratitude to HE Edward Ferguson, the British Ambassador to Serbia, for honoring us with his presence and officially opening the event, adding prestige to the occasion.

External factors such as the visit of the Chinese President to Belgrade led to logistical challenges due to roads being closed, which impacted our attendance. Nonetheless, those who managed to join us experienced an event enriched by ample networking opportunities and fruitful exchanges. Participants had the opportunity not only to enjoy inspiring lectures but one of the event’s most cherished moments was the opportunity for attendees to engage with our speakers, fostering meaningful discussions on their businesses and the challenges they face, while receiving invaluable advice and recommendations from these industry experts.

One of the speakers, Tom Meggle, shared his impressions: “Inspiring discussions and insights into the secrets of luxury brands creating momentum. It was amazing to return to Belgrade after 16 years and witness the exciting transformation of this city. Our joint presentation was centered around brand identity, creating desirability and momentum and the do’s and don’ts in brand and art collaborations.”

The panel discussions at The Luxury Network Adria Insight Series were joined by experts like Katarina Larisa Ham from Quintessentially, fashion designer Ivana Bataković representing her Bataković Belgrade brand, and Milan Sudar, General Manager of Hotel Square Nine. These panels encapsulated everything we envisioned for the event: relaxed, enjoyable, and interactive sessions that fostered evocative dialogue with the audience. Their diverse perspectives and insights added depth and richness to the discussions, contributing to the overall success of the event.

The Luxury Network Adria extends its gratitude to its speakers, panelists, media partners The Collection Magazine, Biz Life and Yachts Croatia, sponsors Artisan for the beautifully arranged stage with their furniture collection, Pura Vida Belgrade for hosting the private dinner the day before the event, Chivas for the unforgettable moments during the dinner and the after-party and Comp Comerc for supplying San Pellegrino and Acqua Panna for the duration of the event.
