Introducing itself to Dubai at the Burj Al Arab, the innovative Like Minds Conference will see key influencers in media, luxury, technology and advertising meet for a two day experience of learning and networking to execute new ways to improve their business strategies in today’s connected world.

Started in August 2009, Like Minds draws innovators together and provides insights into the future of media and communication to improve the competitive advantages of companies, working with global companies and consulting countries on their social media strategies.

This latest event will focus on integrating social media into luxury brands. With the catwalk becoming an increasingly competitive and saturated place, social media provides an opportunity to directly and innovatively engage with the 6.2% of online consumers who create 80% of all influence impressions. It grants new opportunity for luxury goods manufacturers to cultivate new audiences whilst protecting their core customers and the heritage within their brands.

On May 10^th – 12th, all the expertise of Like Minds will collaborate to create a unique and intimate participatory learning experience. World leaders in the field of social media and luxury will share their insights through two days of keynotes and specialised master classes.

Subjects discussed will include the social value of luxury, digital tribes, inclusivity and exclusivity, social media ROI, integrating social media strategy with luxury brands, the future of social communication, and social brand management.

Participants will also enjoy connecting with potential clients and new business opportunities from the UAE and across Europe and America, with guests from China discussing young high net worth individuals in this exciting emerging luxury market.

Sponsors include Aston Martin, Virtu and the International Watch Fair, with further sponsors due to be announced in February 2011. The event is supported by Dubai-based Falcon & Associates
