Family Office Summit in Abu Dhabi

22nd May 2025

Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas, Abu Dhabi

Our summit principles

Follow up and follow through.

If you told someone you’d get in touch with them, do it and reaffirm your intent to assist in any way you can. If you promised to introduce someone to a person you know, take the time to do it.

Connect the dots.

Once you begin to listen to people and learn what they can bring to the table, you’ll start realizing how one person in the room may be able to help another.

Be present.

Disconnect to connect.

Show love.

Don’t snub the service providers and don’t fanboy the big names.

Never dismiss anyone as unimportant.

Make it your mission to discover the value in each person you talk to. Ask questions and listen with interest. Don’t make the mistake of discounting people due to their titles.

Forget your personal agenda.

While you may be tempted to network just to land a quick transaction or talk to people you normally wouldn’t have access to, that’s a mistake. Instead, make it your goal to be open, friendly and honest, and to forge connections between people who may be able to help each other.

4

Emerging Markets Gold Rush:

Seizing High-Growth Opportunities in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America – Because “The Wild West” Isn’t Just a Figure of Speech.

Forget traditional “safe” investments; it’s time to saddle up and hunt for treasure where the markets are growing faster than your morning coffee.

Hedge Funds 2.0:

Liquid Alternatives are Back – Because Who Doesn’t Love a Comeback Story (Especially When It Involves Inflation, Interest Rates, and High Stakes)?

It’s like the “Avengers” of wealth management, but with fewer capes and more spreadsheets.

The Secret to Asset Protection:

Optimizing Trusts, Foundations, and Holding Structures – Because Your Wealth Deserves More Than Just a Lock and Key.

Assets are like your favorite pair of shoes—protect them properly, and they’ll last. Don’t, and you’ll be walking on holes.

How Next-Gen Leaders Are Forming Co-Investment Partnerships to Take Over (Okay, “Collaborate” is the Word We’re Using) in the New Era of Cross-Border Collaboration.

Global alliances are now as easy as sending a Zoom invite—but way more profitable.

13

Biotech, Longevity & Healthcare:

The Healthcare Revolution Family Offices Can’t Afford to Miss – Because Who Doesn’t Want to Live Forever (Or at Least a Lot Longer) and Stay Healthy While Doing It?

Family offices investing in biotech, longevity, and healthcare innovations might just be making the most “forever-young” decision. It’s like insurance for your genes—and your future health
