The 2016 Middle East Family Office and Investment Conference uses as its touchstone the themes of succession to success, with respect to wealth creation, preservation, and professionalization. Since worldwide statistics indicate that merely one third of family businesses survive between the second and third generations, it is evident that many of the family businesses in the middle east are about to face a generational transition, and many imminent related challenges to governance succession planning. Key issues to be addressed at this conference will include best practice governance frameworks, regulatory and tax updates, wealth management structures, and major trends and growth opportunities.
