The October 26-28, 2020 FFI Annual Global Conference is designed for flexibility in meeting your individual and professional goals. Completely virtual, it includes topics and presenters that reflect FFI’s multidisciplinary and global approach to the field. Don’t delay—register now.

The annual FFI global conference was created to bring much-needed professional development resources to advisors and consultants, academics and researchers, and family enterprise members. Even though this year’s conference is a virtual event, you can still expect to experience the same great content through concurrent sessions, a full day GEN workshop, and opportunities for collaboration and networking.

We know that despite the current environment, our field needs well-prepared professionals now more than ever before. That’s why we’ve packed a lot into one registration to make this a truly excellent value. Registration for the 2020 FFI global conference includes:

• Conference plenary award session
• More than 20 concurrent sessions
• Q&A for each session
• Downloadable conference handouts
• Sponsor resources
• Conference attendee profiles and networking

We also know that flexibility is key. So, new this year, you can register for just specific segments of the conference that are most essential and convenient for you. For example:

If you are looking to begin or complete work on an Advanced Certificate in Family Business or Wealth Advising (ACFBA/ACFWA), register for either Monday or Tuesday (or both). Advanced seminars are now offered virtually this year.

GEN 503: Tools for Positive Change in Family Business Systems is offered on Monday.

GEN 504: Meaning and Purpose: Philanthropy and the Family Enterprise is incorporated into the Tuesday sessions.

Dive deeper into advanced topics in the field of family wealth by registering for Part B on Tuesday.

Want to learn more about the latest research and implications for practice? Don’t miss Wednesday Part B, hosted by Family Business Review editor Tyge Payne.

Looking for sessions that address a variety of topics, research, and perspectives on issues in the field? Register for the entire day on Wednesday.

Create your own conference experience by enrolling in half-day segments, full-day immersion or the entire event. It’s all up to you!
