TRANSITIONS FALL 2024
How do you preserve your family’s legacy while continuing to evolve and innovate?
Generational transitions provide an opportunity to rejuvenate the family enterprise (and the family), but they can also reopen old wounds, wasting valuable time and energy and hindering progress.
Join current and future owners and learn how to keep your family enterprise moving forward, honoring the past without being tethered to it.
Transitions Fall 2024 is unique.
- Speakers from family companies: Our focus is on speakers from family enterprises, sharing real-life problems and solutions.
- Intimate, open environment: Limited attendance, and a private "safe harbor" environment in which to openly share challenges and opportunities with other families.
- Collaborative discussions: Opportunities to work through family issues via guided discussions.
- No-Sell environment: Conference sponsors understand and commit to participating as thought leaders and experts, and are restricted from actively selling their products and services.
- Peer groups: Attendees get the opportunity to engage in small working groups with a facilitator leading the session. This is a tech-free place for you to share stories, resources and experiences in a confidential environment with other family businesses.
- Networking with families like yours: Hosted networking, opening reception, meals, breaks and workshops are all designed to allow you to meet many family enterprise attendees.
- Family focus: Brought to you by family-owned Family Business Magazine. We use family-owned or family-controlled hotels, transportation services, restaurants and service providers whenever possible. We believe in, and invest in, America's family businesses.
What our attendees say about Transitions...
“The best ever! Messages were clear, consistent and well organized. People shared openly whether on stage or otherwise.”
-----------------------------
"Had an excellent time sharing with other families large and small. So many similarities of experiences with other families that may look very different than ours. Great venue, great staff, great format. Assigned seating helps engage with other families better."
-----------------------------
"Honestly, every speaker provides value as they trigger situations that you have or will experience."
