Why ALIGN?
Speakers from family offices: Our focus is on speakers from family offices and family enterprises, who share real-world challenges and practical solutions.
Intimate, open environment: Limited attendance, and a private "safe harbor" environment in which to openly share challenges and opportunities with other families and family offices.
Collaborative discussions: Opportunities to work through family office 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:Β Attendees get the opportunity to engage in small working groups with an industry expert facilitatingΒ the session.
Networking with other family offices: Hosted networking, opening reception, pre-assigned seating and workshops are all designed to allow you to meet as many family office and family enterprise attendees as possible.
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.
