For many emerging leaders, attending the Family Business Conference: Asia-Pacific is a turning point.
"Coming to Conference last year was actually the instigator for me coming into my family business. Prior to that it was a hard no, and it had been a hard no for 20+ years. Conference played a really big role in reframing the business in my mind."
- Caitlin Crowther, Alura Coaches.
Stepping into the wider family business community can feel a little daunting at first, but it doesn't take long for that to change. They quickly discover an approachable community of people who understand, and are in the same boat. It's an opportunity to unpack all that comes with being the next generation, the expectations, the fears and the decisions that need to be made.
It is often through these conversations and the practical learning sessions, they leave with new ideas and a fresh confidence. In many cases, it provides them with a stronger sense of their own potential as future leaders.
This year’s program includes a range of experiences and sessions tailored specifically for the emerging generation. The aim is to help them build relationships, broaden their thinking and feel more equipped for whatever comes next.
It's not too late to book your spot and join us at the family business event of the year!
