- Mark Hatch, Author of «The Maker Movement Manifesto», who will share how advanced manufacturing, crowdfunding, the collaborative economy and online markets are paving the way for individuals to create, innovate, and generate wealth for themselves and their investors.
“FOX Fall Forum is the family wealth industry’s marquee event, with ideas and networking you won’t find anywhere else,” said FOX president Alexandre Monnier. “We are especially excited about this year’s agenda, which features world-class speakers who will cover an array of topics important to our members. If you are a family leader, family office executive, or trusted advisor, you truly won’t want to miss this Forum.”
The Fall Forum agenda features sessions addressing partnerships both inside and outside the family. It will also explore topics such as investing in the post-election environment, designing an owner education curriculum that informs and solidifies partnerships, understanding and addressing the wealth gap, and appreciating the role of family storytelling to support family continuity and vision.
And like at all FOX Forums, attendees will have the opportunity to expand their networks with other enterprise owners and highly-experienced executives at several engaging social events.
