Event to Focus on Family Office Structures, the Future of Ownership, and the Next Generation of Business Leaders
Dubai – UAE: 26 July 2015 –
Organised by the Tharawat Family Business Forum, the first edition of
the Continuum Family Business Conference took place in 2011. For its
fifth edition, the conference will take place in London, bringing
together family owned businesses from all over the world. Over the
years, Continuum has become a well-known platform to gather and discuss
matters at the heart of the family business, explore business
opportunities and future trends, and engage in a dialogue across
generations. The event includes sessions on family office structures,
traditional and future ownership models, and next generation leadership.
To be held in London, United Kingdom, from 19 to 21 August,
the three-day annual conference will bring together members of family
businesses from the Middle East and North Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin
America to discuss and share their thoughts and experiences. The agenda
features an interactive program of workshops and plenary sessions and
an exclusive behind-the-scene excursion to one London’s most interesting
and visited venues, the British Museum.
Dr. Hischam El Agamy,
Founder and Executive Director, Tharawat Family Business Forum, said:
“Continuum has proven time and again that open dialogue and curiosity is
an essential ingredient for business success. A forum to share best
practice and new ideas, Continuum has become a space for like-minded
family business members from all over the world, who are concerned with
their family business's sustainability, capability to innovate and to
face the challenges of tomorrow's business place."
With a line-up of
exceptional family business speakers from Hungary, New Zealand,
Switzerland, Egypt, the United States, Italy, Sudan, Morocco, Kuwait,
Oman and the United Arab Emirates, the conference has become a truly
global meeting place. Over the last five years the conference has been
