Since 2012, the Family Business Conference & Achievement Awards is an interactive forum with leading industry experts that provides the type of actionable insights necessary to plan for a smooth transition of family businesses. This networking breakfast and interactive workshop will offer perspectives from both industry experts and actual family business owners to address this and other issues facing family-owned enterprises. Hear from experts and owners as they share real life examples and what separates success stories from failures.

Our forum is a space where you can meet, network, learn, and collaborate with family business owners who understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with running a family business. These business owners are looking for meaningful content and solutions.

The Family Business Conference & Achievement Awards currently takes place in Cleveland.

A family member is defined as siblings, spouses, children, grandchildren, or cousins. They may be from a single generation or multi-generations.
