Transformational Women in Family Business
June 13-14, 2024 | Swissotel Chicago
Many women in family businesses are eager to make a greater contribution to the family enterprise. We invite you to join other amazing family business women as we examine our strengths, enhance our skills and, together, explore the ways to succeed in our current and future roles.
Transformational Women in Family Business is about taking action — and empowering you to move forward equipped with the tools you need to be successful while being your true authentic self. Our workshops and hands-on sessions are curated exclusively for women in family business. No matter what your role is in your family business, there is always growing to be done. This event is designed to provide you with an opportunity to collaborate with other women to further develop your leadership, relationship, communication and negotiation skills — and more.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Transformational Women in Family Business was created for women who are involved in the family or family business at any level. All are welcome.
With guidance from some of the most inspiring women in family businesses today, Family Business and its steering committee created an immersive program that's interactive, authentic and educational. We'll share practical tools and strategies to navigate the complexities of your daily life. Get ready to embark on a journey that will allow you to develop greater influence and impact on everything you do.
+ We’ll also be presenting our Transformational Women of 2024 Awards at a dinner on the evening of June 13th. You'll have the chance to mingle and meet these truly inspirational award winners.

+ Hear what others have said about last year's conference and awards program:
"Thank you so much for putting together such a wonderful conference. I have been to Transitions before, but this was so special that it focused on women and so many of the challenges that us women face in business. I felt like I left every session excited to connect and with some very powerful takeaways. I attended a few sessions that didn’t necessarily feel relevant by the title, and I was so inspired by something that might have been more family life-balance or just female-focused."
"BTW, the awards ceremony was absolutely wonderful! It was so much fun and so inspirational at the same time. Well done to all!"
