“Transitions East 2012: Sustaining and Building the Multi-Generational Family Company” is co-sponsored by Stetson University Family Enterprise Center and
Family Business
Magazine, and is the only conference created for family companies, by family companies.
Who Should Attend
Attendance at this conference is strictly limited to 130 family business/enterprise owners, shareholders and family members. The conference will be ideal for senior family business/enterprise leadership to attend with their next generation of leaders and shareholders. It is designed to facilitate conversation on important family issues among generations. There is special programming for family business members aged 15-29, and for those who have married-in to the family business.
The Transitions conference is for family companies and family offices of all sizes. At our last conference, approximately one third of attendees represented companies with revenues of under $25 million, one third of attendees had revenues of between $26 million and $300 million; and one third had revenues of over $300 million. And approximately a third of attendees were in the third generation or less; a third were in generations 4 and 5; and third were part of companies more than 6 generations old. What all attendees share is a desire to see their family enterprise grow successfully through generational transitions.
NOTE:
All attendees will be vetted to ensure that they are family company leaders, members or shareholders. This event is only for family-run companies. Senior advisers to family companies may attend ONLY with the family company they represent.
Advisers to family companies may inquire about sponsorship opportunities. Contact Scott Chase at (301) 879-1613, or email
