Luxury Spotlight: Meet the experts taking the stage at Luxury Connect

Experts say the luxury market is insulated from the rest of the economy. While that might be true in some years, it doesn’t feel like the case right now, with everyone navigating a surprisingly uncertain economy and extremely tight inventory. 

The best luxury agents, however, have been through this before — think 2008, 2001, and even further back into the previous century. 

The best and smartest among them will be at Inman Luxury Connect to share their tactics for growing and thriving — even when it’s hard out there. 

Naturally, from the Luxury stage, there will be the smartest talk about selling high-end properties in today’s market, as well as tactics for growing teams — and navigating a new set of tough conversations with clients.  But Inman Luxury Connect will also turn an eye to the new technologies like ChatGPT and AI that are changing the way agents and brokers work with their clients. 

Inman Luxury Connect brings together industry trailblazers, innovators and visionaries in the high-end and luxury markets under one roof.  A few of the speakers who will take the stage next month are:
