Exploring the key themes driving the 17th Deloitte Art & Finance Conference
What is the focus of the conference and why is it relevant?
This year, the 17th edition of our annual Art & Finance Conference returns and this time in New York, the world capital for art and finance. The 2025 theme, “A wealth of innovation: Bridging art and wealth management in 2025,” will spotlight the evolving relationship between art, wealth, and innovation. We will also put a special focus on family offices, next-generation wealth holders, and the role of technology.
This full-day event will deliver fresh perspectives and strategic dialogues at the intersection of art investments and wealth management
Key topics include:
- Exclusive launch of the 9th Art & Finance Report: gain first-hand insights into emerging trends shaping strategies in the art and finance sectors.
- Art-secured lending and investment strategies: explore innovations, risk management practices, and regulatory developments reshaping this fast-evolving asset class.
- Intergenerational wealth transfer: discover best practices for passing down art collections while balancing cultural preservation, financial value, and tax implications.
- Philanthropy's impact on the art world: examine new approaches that harness art for societal change, with measurable outcomes and forward-thinking models of giving.
- Art and technology: understand how cutting-edge tools, from AI in valuation and authentication to blockchain in provenance and traceability, are transforming the art market.
How do you see innovation shaping the relationship between art and wealth management?
Innovation is reshaping the relationship between art and wealth management, weaving together two historically distinct sectors in bold ways. Here are some key examples of how innovation is driving this convergence:
- Tokenization: Tokenization, which relies on blockchain technology, can enable the seamless integration of art assets into wealth management platforms. By creating secure digital representations of artworks, blockchain makes it possible to support services such as asset protection, monetization, and philanthropy, while also unlocking new models for investment, financing, and impact-driven initiatives in the cultural and creative sectors.
- AI-powered valuation tools: Advanced algorithms, combined with expert insights, can analyze market trends, historical data, and artist profiles to deliver real-time appraisals of artworks, streamlining processes for wealth managers.
- AI-driven research and data management
- Intelligent tools can organize and analyze vast amounts of artwork data, reducing due diligence time and costs, strengthening authentication practices, and improving market research efficiency.
- Blockchain for provenance: Secure, transparent records of authenticity and ownership build trust, minimize fraud, and reinforce compliance in art-related transactions.
Innovation is redefining art not only as a cultural treasure but also as a dynamic asset that adapts to the evolving needs of wealth management clients. At the intersection of creativity, technology, and finance, a new era of opportunity is emerging for both industries.
What key objectives does this year’s Art & Finance Conference aim to achieve?
