This is an opportunity for advisors and other professionals across multiple disciplines to learn from each other, understand each other’s expertise and build a network that is required as trusted advisors to the unique Family Business sector.

Your local Advisor Facilitator will be your main point of contact.

Note: This event is for Advisors only.

Next week Thursday we will have Duane O’Donnell presenting on the Mandatory climate reporting obligations for Family Business and the potential impact on Family Board Members.  This interactive session will share the new requirements of the mandatory climate related financial reporting regime and how this will impact family business with revenue over $200m (from 1 July 2026) and family businesses with revenue of $50m from 1st July 2027.  It will be interesting to hear what some of the businesses you are currently working with are doing in preparation to comply with the regime starting later this year and into next year.
