By Staff reports

Luxury Daily is inviting speaker submissions for LuxeCX, the publication’s newest conference Sept. 25 in New York that is focused on customer experience in the luxury business.

Customers and prospects now routinely rank CX as one of the top reasons to do business with the brand. Given these heightened expectations of customer experience – not to be confused with customer service, which is but one component of it – what should marketers do?

That is the focus of LuxeCX, a new conference from Luxury Daily and sister brand American Marketer that will feature research on CX, ownership to rental and participation models, role of data, artificial intelligence and technology, CX design online and in-store, the battle between personalization and privacy, attributing and measuring CX, customer experience in a world of screen and voice search, and brand case studies.

The daylong conference on Wednesday, Sept. 25 in New York at the UBS Building on 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10019 will comprise keynotes, panels and fireside chats. The event will start at 7:30 a.m. and wrap at 5:30 p.m. Breakfast, lunch and refreshments will be served.

Styled as an executive summit, the event is expected to attract an estimated 100 to 125 senior executives from brands, retailers, agencies and consultancies.

Like all conferences organized by Luxury Daily and American Marketer, this event’s attendees are expected to be decision-makers who set strategy and budgets within their organizations. They want to learn not just the what, why, where and when, but also the how – and how much. They want to network and meet with the speakers and attendees and talk shop in a safe environment.

Speakers will be recruited from the ranks of brands, retailers, agencies and market researchers. An estimated 20 to 25 speakers will feature on the program. Speakers pick up their own travel and accommodation costs.

Please send all speaker nominations by Monday, June 10 to events@napean.com with a reason why that executive is a fit for one of the sessions listed below. Sponsorship queries should be sent to ads@napean.com.

Customers desire deep personalized experiences but feel creeped-out when marketers know everything about them, intercepting at every online and offline channel touch points to seek their attention.

Also, critical innovations are beginning to emerge, and merge, that will put consumers and their respective trusted expert advisors back in the driver’s seat of commerce. Brands beware: the future is full of paradox.
