Business

Apr 22, 2024 | By Sanjeeva Suresh

With nine well-established annual family office forum editions in Dubai, Singapore, Istanbul, London, Wiesbaden, New York, Cayman Islands, Zurich and Riyadh, this week sees Singapore’s turn as Prestel & Partner continues to be a proud global leader in providing a private platform for networking, sharing, and learning opportunities on the most pertinent family office and investment themes.

This year promises to see more Family Offices than service providers both on stage and in the audience. Guest can expect to benefit from a 3:1 ratio of private family office to investor : expert and meet 100+ Family Offices and UHNWIs at the event. The number of delegate passes is strictly limited, ensuring that the participating Family Offices enjoy meeting fellow like-minded peers. The Prestel & Partner Family Office Forum Collection provides an exchange between family offices, wealth owners, and only a select few partners on the best practices in governance and investments. These hands-on topics hold clear benefits for all participants. The focus will be aimed at added value, trends, and strategies. Signature features and formats include interactive presentations and engaging panel discussions; with a high number of family principals sharing their views, in-depth round table discussion and all-day networking, in addition to dedicated networking breaks, lunches, and drinks reception.

Forum agendas are the result of extensive conversations and months of research with Single and Multi-Family Offices, UHNWIs, thought-leading advisory firms, and financial institutions on the most crucial

and timely topics that keep family principals and their family offices awake at night. As an audience member, The Singapore Family Office Prestel & Partner Forum 2024 event is exclusively dedicated to Single Family Offices, Principals and Private Multi Family Offices. The forum aims to provide a bespoke and curated program with considerable time dedicated to in-depth discussions, knowledge and experience sharing and learning opportunities, and Q&As.
