Be Inspired! Luxury brands shape the Immersive Experience. 

Enabling the next generation and omnichannel strategy of immersive experiences and web 3.0.

The word ‘luxury’ resonates with superior performance, exclusivity, innovation. Luxury brands are built on these premises and as such some might say they are held to a higher standard. Their clients demand the best and are willing to pay for it – and this includes the best experience; be it physical or digital.

The majority of luxury brands have thrived in their digital transformation, defending their values and uniqueness while evolving to meet the needs of their customers. They have adopted omnichannel best practices while maintaining a high-end experience. They have demonstrated to the rest of the industry how to truly recognize a customer, engage them across channels, and celebrate them in order to increase lifetime value.

Join us at NRF in New York for an exclusive Cocktail Reception on Monday, January 16th, from 4.00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m (ET) at The Capgemini Lounge, Hudson Mercantile, 500 West 36th Street, New York City, USA.

Whether you are a luxury brand or a brand looking to take the next step in Immersive Commerce, join us to talk more about what’s next for luxury brands, and what we can learn from them. What new customer experiences should brands be ready for? How can they engage with communities better? How can they onboard each and every customer? How can they democratize NFT access?

Web 3.0 and Immersive Experiences have the potential to radically transform how your customers interact with your brand, products, and systems. Ordinary is not enough. We look forward to welcoming you for a relaxed session on a topic you are passionate and excited about.
