Participants will explore evolving best practices in board composition, financial and managerial decision-making, and conflict resolution, as well as strategies for preparing next-generation leaders and aligning family and business goals. Through discussions with leading family business owners, advisors, and academics, the event will offer insights on how strong governance can drive sustainable growth, preserve legacy, and foster harmony across generations.
