Family-owned companies and family-controlled enterprises of all types and sizes attend Transitions. They all share one key characteristic: They are multi-generational (or intend to be multi-generational) and want to perpetuate the business and the family.
• The majority of speakers are members of family companies or enterprises, sharing real-life successes and failures.
• Limited attendance, and a private and confidential environment in which to share challenges and opportunities with other families.
• Focus on networking with family business and enterprise members.
• Special content and sessions for NextGen and married-in family members.
• Topics developed by an advisory board of family business owners and members, based on feedback from conference attendees.
