The Family Business Executive Forum
The Family Business Executive Forum is a series of exclusive virtual gatherings designed specifically for family business leaders and their advisors. These forums serve as a platform to bring together the best expert advisors from around the world to share their insights on the most important topics in family business leadership. Addressing family business challenges requires a different approach. We recognize that without addressing the human dynamics within family businesses, it's nearly impossible to touch the strategic side effectively.
Confidentiality and Anonymity
We understand that matters pertaining to family and business can be especially sensitive. Hence, we host these forums as a webinar so that no one in attendance outside of our team has access to the name of any other attendees and there is no option for attendees cameras to be seen. We will open the question box for questions at various times throughout the forum, and no one outside of our team can see or access the questions. We are committed to the privacy and confidentiality of our attendees.
