Adrian Cheng’s expertise

On Thursday, April 19, Cheng will be discussing K11’s “museum-retail” concept and its swift rise to success, anticipating presences across nine cities in China by 2023. Cheng’s disruptive, multidisciplinary approach is a perfect fit for the conference’s theme, “The Luxury of Language”, which will look at how luxury connects and transcends countries.

Cheng was also recognised for his co-founding of investment fund C Ventures, a fund dedicated to brands focused on millennials and Generation-Z, at the end of last year.
