"The agenda is designed to ensure attendees leave the Forum equipped with ideas and tools to help them achieve their goals -- be it sustaining wealth across generations, starting new businesses or finding sound investment opportunities," says FOX Founder and CEO Sara Hamilton.
The first day of the event is reserved exclusively for family office members.
