Event Details

The annual Generations Conference is an independent, personable educational forum dedicated to the real issues and unique challenges facing asset owners, their businesses, family offices, and foundations. The Generations Conference 2026 offers a one-day program for a select group of principals and professionals working for family offices to connect with like-minded thought leaders and peers to discuss challenges, leading practices, and trends.

 

Welcome to the Eighth Installment of the Generations Conference
 

Stewardship Across Generations: A Swiss Family Office Perspective

In an increasingly complex global environment, families focused on preserving and growing wealth across generations must navigate evolving economic conditions, geopolitical uncertainty, regulatory shifts, and technological transformation. This year’s conference explores how Swiss family offices approach long-term stewardship, balancing tradition, innovation, and responsible decision-making to sustain enduring legacies.

Through keynote presentations and engaging panel discussions, attendees will hear from family office executives, investment leaders, academics, and multigenerational family representatives who bring deep expertise and practical insights into governance, succession planning, investment strategy, and risk management.

The conference also offers valuable opportunities to connect with peers, trusted advisers, and industry professionals who share a commitment to thoughtful wealth stewardship and long-term value creation. These conversations are designed to foster meaningful relationships and actionable insights that extend well beyond the event itself.

Whether you represent a single-family office, a multifamily office, or an advisory firm serving enterprising families, this conference provides a forum to exchange ideas, gain fresh perspectives, and explore strategies for navigating today’s evolving financial landscape with confidence and purpose.
