Family Office Conference at LBS

About
Family Offices (FOs) have grown exponentially over the last decades and today represent an important priority for many business families.
London Business School (LBS) has leveraged its London location, thought leadership, world-class faculty, and extensive network to organise a unique, non-commercial event exclusively for family members, principals of single-family offices, and senior leaders within family offices.
The Family Office Conference at LBS brings together principals and senior executives in a confidential setting, without interference from service providers or entities with commercial interests. Over two days, participants will engage in research-backed insights, peer learning, and discussions with like-minded individuals.
This exclusive conference promises actionable strategies for your family office through interactive sessions led by world-renowned LBS faculty, influential business leaders, and distinguished family office leaders.
“The combination of keynote speakers/panels followed by table discussions works very well and is a great way to run the conference. I took as much away from the discussions as I did from the talks.”

Why attend?
Safe space environment - We create an environment where participants meet other families or family office representatives and explore innovative ideas without the distractions of service providers*.
Interactive and collaborative setting - Panel discussions are followed by structured and spontaneous small group roundtable sessions, fostering active participation and meaningful discussions among all attendees.
Thought leadership - Gain access to innovative research and frameworks from the world-renowned faculty at LBS. The conference includes practitioner talks and insights shared by LBS faculty working at the forefront of global business research, providing leading academic expertise.
Knowledge exchange – Engage in facilitated conversations where participants can openly share their experiences and discuss solutions to common problems. Facilitators will provide summary write ups after the conference.
Networking - The event offers abundant opportunities throughout the day to network with peers from other families and family offices.
“I liked that the attendees were all family members and/or worked in family offices. Our round table discussions were so open and probably my favourite part of the event.”

About the organiser
The IEPC supports the development of entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial ideas that drive impact, create wealth and advance well-being. The IEPC also conducts research underpinning today’s private capital markets including venture capital, private equity, growth, buyouts, and the broader private capital ecosystem.
A central ambition of the IEPC is to grow our family enterprise linked research, teaching, and events programmes. For us family enterprise covers the full family ownership spectrum, bringing together business owning families with those managing their own single-family offices. We believe the IEPC’s twin strengths of business entrepreneurship and private capital management are central to understanding family enterprise now and into the future.
