FAMILY BUSINESS EVENTS

Since our inception Family Business United has been hosting events to bring the family business community together, online and in person, to learn, network and benefit from the collective knowledge of our global community. 

Scroll

Many of these events are now firmly established within the annual family business calendar and play an important part in developing our growing community, helping those involved in running a family business appreciate that they are not alone and that others have been through, or are in the process of going through, similar challenges to the ones they are facing themselves.

We regularly add more events to the calendar so do check back regularly to make sure you are up to date with events that are happening and may be of interest.
