The First Forum "Brand and Trends" in La Zagaleta
04-05-2012Comments (1)
Building long-lasting and effective brands is our passion. Through Forum La Zagaleta, our objective is to gather the most influential and trendsetting brand representatives under one roof, helping to position Spain as a recognized meeting point, and La Zagaleta as a leader in networking and consulting. Diverse nationalities, backgrounds and educations – but one thing is for certain, Forum La Zagaleta’s speakers and participants are at the top of their class.
Why now?
Throughout history, difficult economic climates have made for the ideal breeding grounds for creativity and innovation. Despite setbacks, various industries – the luxury sector included – must move forward so not to be left behind in a demanding and competitive marketplace.
Why Marbella?
Marbella is one of the best-known Spanish cities, not only in Spain, but also on an international level. Its geographical location provides a special microclimate with mild temperatures throughout the year, with an average of 18,7 degrees and generous sunshine.
This is certainly one of the charming aspects of the city, though other advantages make for continuous fun for sports, gourmet experiences and general travel: 26 km of beaches, 17 golf courses, luxury hotels, Michelin-star restaurants, four marinas, among them the world-famous Puerto Banús, the truly charming old town, cultural activities, a demanding night life and a really beautiful natural environment.
Why La Zagaleta?
Just passed its 20-year anniversary, La Zagaleta continues to be the go-to place for people looking for a natural, safe and tranquil environment. Years of hard work, industry know-how and commitment have led La Zagaleta to become a leader in luxury real estate consulting and development, having created an exclusive network of the best professionals around the world.
Forum La Zagaleta serves as the perfect opportunity within the Marbella Luxury Weekend to reunite the best of the best, aligning our objectives with those of the Marbella Town Hall to enrich not just consumer tourism in the Costa del Sol, but also professional tourism.
