Member Connect

Wednesday 08 May 2024,  3pm – 4:20pm 

Our Member Connect table discussions will give you the opportunity to meet others with similar interests, questions and challenges early into your Family Office Congress experience.

What to expect?

During Member Connect, multiple conversations unfold simultaneously, offering a dynamic environment. Embrace this lively setting to engage in open and free discussions with fellow participants.

During the session you will have the opportunity to:

  • Connect with other members in smaller groups.
  • Share ideas on common interests.
  • Discuss specific questions, issues and challenges and draw on the wisdom of the crowd for feedback.

How will it work?

  • Tables are split between ‘Special Interest’ Groups and ‘Thought-Provoker’ topics.
  • Each table will be assigned a lead who will help kick-off the conversation.
  • Other table participants are encouraged to contribute and share.
  • At 35 minutes, there will be an opportunity to move to a different table/conversation or you can stay where you are!
