The 2027 Agenda

Seven pillars of modern wealth

Each pillar receives its own stage time, its own voices and its own room of allocators — because a portfolio, a passport, a physician and a private collection all answer to the same principal.

01

Private Banking & Wealth Management

Preservation, structuring, succession and next-generation wealth transfer.

02

Real Estate

Prime residential, hospitality and cross-border property strategies.

03

Private Markets

Private equity, venture, private credit and direct co-investment.

04

Longevity

Precision medicine, healthspan science and elite preventive care.

05

Blockchain & Digital Assets

Tokenization, custody and digital assets in the modern portfolio.

06

Artificial Intelligence

AI as an investment theme — and as a working tool for family offices.

07

Luxury Goods & Experiences

Watches, automobiles, collectibles and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

The full programme

Three days, three levels of intimacy — from the Speakers’ Dinner to the closing lunch.

The Venue

Hotel Splendide Royal, Lugano

A landmark of Lugano since 1887, the Splendide Royal pairs Belle Époque grandeur with uninterrupted views of Lake Lugano. It has hosted every edition of Lugano Summit — and in 2027 it becomes the exclusive home of all three days: dinner, summit and closing lunch under one storied roof.

Lakefront setting — terraces and salons directly on Riva Antonio Caccia
Belle Époque elegance — a five-star icon that matches the standing of its guests
Privacy by design — a contained venue enabling discreet, closed-door sessions
World-class hospitality — gala-level dining, from the Speakers’ Dinner to the closing lunch
Riva Antonio Caccia 7 · 6900 Lugano, Switzerland
10 min from Lugano station  ·  25 min from Lugano Airport  ·  ~1 h from Milan Malpensa  ·  partner hotels nearby

The City

Why Lugano

Lugano sits at the crossroads of Swiss discretion and Italian dolce vita — and has deliberately positioned itself as a hub for finance and technology.

Swiss wealth tradition

A long-established private banking and family-office ecosystem in Ticino.

A city that innovates

Among the first cities to issue digital bonds; home of the Satoshi Nakamoto statue.

Bridge to Milan & Zurich

Minutes from Italy, an hour from Milan — the gateway between two wealth capitals.

The art of living well

Lake, mountains, gastronomy and a lifestyle that embodies the summit’s themes.

The Calibre of the Stage

Voices that have shaped past editions

The 2027 roster will extend this calibre into private banking, real estate, longevity and luxury.
