Voices that have shaped
Voices that have shaped
the Lugano Summit
Across five editions the summit has convened central bankers, global financiers, technologists, physicians and figures from world sport — in one room, on one stage, on the shore of Lake Lugano. The 2027 roster extends that calibre into private banking, real estate, longevity and luxury.
