 / ABOUT 

The Legacy & Future Family Business Conference 2025 brings together family business leaders, next-generation members, investors, and governance experts from around the world to explore the evolving role of family enterprises in a rapidly changing global landscape.

This year’s conference will focus on the intersection of legacy preservation and future growth, addressing how family businesses can honor their heritage while embracing innovation, sustainability, and new leadership models. Through keynote speeches we will explore topics such as:

  • Navigating generational transitions and succession planning

  • Strengthening governance structures for long-term resilience

  • Leveraging family values as a strategic advantage

  • Balancing risk and opportunity in an age of disruption

  • The expanding role of family offices, philanthropy, and impact investment

The event will feature distinguished speakers from prominent family enterprises, renowned academics, and thought leaders in governance and leadership. In addition to the main program, attendees will enjoy exclusive networking opportunities, including a welcome cocktail on November 14 at IESE’s campus and an optional networking dinner in Barcelona.

Join us for an inspiring day of learning, exchange, and connection — where tradition meets transformation.
