Martin Graham, the chairman of Oracle Capital Group, has been invited to speak at the 7th annual Family Office Leadership Summit. The summit is part of a series of conferences held around the world, and is widely considered to be the leader in its field.
The London event is being held over the next two days (the 17th and 18th of September) at the Marriott Grosvenor Square.
The summit organisers, Family Office Intelligence, stated that this year’s agenda was designed to provide insight and debate into the key issues and opportunities for family offices and their families in 2013. Senior family office speakers from a range of companies will discuss their experiences and opinions throughout the two days.
Key highlights of the summit will include the keynote address, which will provide a case study example from a leading company CEO who has led his company during market difficulties and prospered despite the challenges.
In addition to this, the CEO roundtable will see leading family office CEOs discuss managing an office in today’s environment, as well as debate their asset allocation priorities and where they sit in the emerging vs. emerged manager’s debate.
Succession planning will involve a discussion about asset protection and will attempt to define the importance of ethical succession planning. Private banking and the family office sector will outline what a private bank’s role is in the family office space.
There will also be a debate about the benefits to selecting investments aligned to passion investing and whether there needs to be a trade-off between return and passion.
Meanwhile, family reputation management will address social media and PR and the challenges of today’s social media environment for managing the reputation of a family and its business. Attendees will also discuss recruitment in family offices, whether to hire through their networks or to use a head hunter.
