2nd Annual Family Office Connect 2019 | PE HUB | 21 May 2019 | Harvard Club , 35 W 44th St, New York, NY 10036, USA

Join us for our 2nd annual Family Office Connect conference, a one-of-a kind gathering of family offices, independent sponsors and capital providers focused on gaining access to the exclusive deal flow, funds intelligence and opportunity zones. This prominent conference, which encompasses our elite ExecConnect 1:1 private meetings program and dedicated networking, has harvested widespread praise and interest.

Whether it’s through fund investments, co-investments or direct deals, family offices & independent sponsors from around the world are growing into sophisticated multi-asset class operations, often heavily weighted toward alternatives. The Family Office Connect conference is designed to facilitate family offices & independent sponsors who seek an edge in the illiquid and often less than transparent private markets deal-making space.

Keynote presentations from industry leaders will offer insights into how family offices & independent sponsors can work together. This 2-day event also includes interactive round tables, specialist panel discussions and plenty of networking opportunities. Hundreds of independent sponsors, family offices, LPs, GPs and service providers will be in attendance.

Plus, our ExecConnect 1:1 private meetings program gives independent sponsors & family offices the unique opportunity to meet with one another, capital providers and deal flow professionals for 20 minute, prearranged meetings.
