FAMILY OFFICE CONFERENCES



There are a lot of family office conferences every year.  I believe that these type of conferences will continue to grow as people want to get in touch with these “family offices.”    Campden research recently came out and said that there had been an increase in family offices from last year alone.   Along with the rise in family offices, so will be the capital that they will have to invest.  So are these conferences helpful in meeting these family offices?  That depends.   The reality is family offices want to go to conferences to ………….well meet other family offices.  That is the main reason.  Do they want deal flow?  Yes, but to what real extent?  That is the question.  The fewer sponsors that are present, the more family offices that will come.  I don’t ever see that changing.

The methodology behind HMC’s success i...
