In its 12th edition, the LUXONOMY™ Congress returns as a premier event exploring the nexus of luxury and longevity. Slated for March 4, 2026 at the iconic The Palace (a Luxury Collection Hotel) in Madrid, this one-day congress carries the theme “From the Gold Standard to the Age Standard,” underscoring a shift from traditional wealth metrics to the value of age, health, and innovation in defining luxury.

The concept of conspicuous consumption was developed in the late 19th century by the American economist and sociologist Thorstein Veblen in his book The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899). Veblen argued that certain individuals acquire luxury goods and services not out of necessity, but as a way to show their social status and wealth.
