The Chicago Merchandise Mart
Hosted in the SKS Chicago Showroom
Produced with Scott Byron & Co.
3:30 PM – 7:30 PM CT
In celebration of PowerHouse SMART’s 20th Year, this intentionally intimate Summit experience is designed to elevate heart-centered leadership, deepen trusted relationships, and inspire meaningful collaboration across the luxury design-build-real-estate community.
The Chicago Luxury Summit is a thoughtfully created companion event experience to the annual Chicago Luxury Conference — shorter in duration yet richer in connection. This immersive gathering prioritizes authentic dialogue, strategic introductions, and the signature PowerHouse SMART® relationship-first energy that has shaped our community for two decades.
Headliner Sponsor for IL/WI, Scott Byron & Co. is celebrated for more than four decades of luxury landscape architecture, construction, and concierge-level outdoor environments that harmonize art, architecture, and nature.
The Signature Kitchen Suite showroom at The Mart is an iconic 9,000-square-foot, theater-inspired environment designed by Piero Lissoni. Blending refined Italian design with advanced culinary innovation, the space features bespoke Arclinea kitchens, dramatic 20-foot islands, and artfully composed interactive experiences for “technicureans,” setting the tone for inspiration and elevated hospitality.

We share the same stage, but we perform separate shows. Through the lens of improv and R.A.V.E. philosophy, this immersive keynote experience emphasizes how trust, boldness, and ensemble thinking unlock deeper collaboration and elevate what’s possible for teams and clients alike.
An inspiring and immersive keynote exploring how collaboration across landscape, architecture, and lifestyle design is redefining the next era of luxury living — aligning vision with purpose and innovation with human connection.
