Forum Seminar A typical Family Business Forum seminar finds from 50 to 60 members representing two or three generations, with family and non-family members, from various types and sizes of businesses. Representatives from sponsoring organizations are also present at seminars to offer their expertise when appropriate.
Seminars vary in content and format.
Some feature family business experts while others include panels of members and sponsors. These sessions are designed to provide members ample time to fully explore issues with the aid of national experts, while offering enough time to return to the office for the better part of the afternoon. Three Breakfast Programs These two-hour sessions focus on subjects of timely interest to members, and often feature regional experts or panels of Forum sponsors and members. Full breakfast is included. Each Forum seminar features brief updates by one or more professionals on current or developing business issues relevant to family businesses.
