*We anticipate that this year’s event will sell out early. We are limited to 75 participants.

The Forum will be a hands-on experience to help you:

  • Learn and work together with your family on critical issues for the future
  • Assess your family and enterprise to determine future opportunities and needs
  • Build relationships with other families
  • Leave with actionable next steps

The Forum will be helpful for families at every stage of growth. Participants will find it useful to bring multiple family members from more than one generation. Non-family executives will also benefit from this program.
