A beautiful event, with the best team, in one of my favourite cities ♥️
Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of the FT Live Business of Luxury Summit in one of the world’s most beautiful cities, Venice. Managing the operations for the event for the third year in a row still presented its challenges. However this year it was even more of a challenge: - Leading a team of 30 staff - 3 Day event - 350 Delegates - 1.5 Day state of the art conference at the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice - 2 Networking drinks reception - 1 Gala dinner at the Hotel Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel All done on an island surrounded by water and accessed only by boats! #Venice Thanks to the amazing FT Live team, particularly the operations dream team - Annalisa Bertacchini, Victoria Lam, Tayla Cawsey and Ania Wilcox-Brown for their resilience, solution driven approach and commitment to delivering the most memorable event in it’s history. #FTLuxury https://lnkd.in/eqpWU22D
