    Family Business Magazine’s conferences have transformed the family business conference landscape, engaging multi-generational family company members in a confidential, ‘safe harbor’ environment, and positioning sponsors as thought leaders to this audience for a modest investment, and strong return.

    Family Business Magazine’s conferences cover issues of family company succession, generational transition, and family dynamics; operating family company wealth management; and the governance of privately-owned companies.

    SponsorshipOur conference model is unique and proven: Conference speakers come solely from family-owned companies or are serving board members, owners and executives of family-owned and privately-owned companies. Sponsor executives are engaged, where appropriate (and depending on sponsorship level) as session moderators or facilitators, serving as stewards of the conversation. No direct selling during our events is allowed.

    • Sponsorship slots for Family Business’ conferences are limited, and offered on a first-come, first-served basis, with first right of refusal on renewals

    • Sponsors may provide marketing materials for inclusion in the registration bag and on tabletop displays.

    • All sponsors have access to special registration discount codes to offer to their top clients and prospects.

    The Transitions East and West conferences feature more top-notch family speakers than any other conference, and offer sponsors an opportunity to meet and network with important multi-generational family company members.

    The US Transitions conferences are held twice a year, in the Spring (East Coast) and the Fall (West Coast). Each conference is built on the direct feedback of prior conference attendees, and features new topics and new speakers vetted and approved by the Family Business Magazine conference advisory board. Attendance at the conference is limited to 250-280 owners, shareholders, family members, in-laws and non-family executives of 75-80 family businesses/enterprises.

    TRANSITIONS EAST and WEST

    Each conference features:• Speakers from family companies: Our focus is on

    speakers from family enterprises, sharing real-life problems and solutions.

    • Intimate, open environment: Limited attendance, and a private “safe harbor” environment in which to openly share challenges and opportunities with other families.

    • Collaborative discussions: Opportunities to work through family issues via guided discussions.

    • No-Sell Environment: Conference sponsors understand and commit to participating as thought leaders and experts, and are restricted from actively selling their products and services.

    • Special content and sessions for next-generation and married-in family members

    • Family Networking: Hosted networking, assigned seating, opening reception, meals, breaks and workshops are all designed to allow attendees to meet many family enterprise attendees.

    • Family focus: Produced by family-owned Family Business Magazine, we use family-owned or controlled hotels, transportation services, restaurants and service providers whenever possible. We believe in, and invest in, America’s family businesses

    Family-owned companies and family-controlled enterprises of all types and sizes attend Transitions. They all share one key characteristic: They are multi-generational (or intend to be multi-generational) and want to perpetuate the business and the family.

    The typical family company brings three attendees (a number of families bring between 4 and 10 family members). Approximately 15% of attendees are next-generation (under age 30), and 10% are married-in to the family business.

    Approximately 45% of companies have attended more than one Transitions conference, often bringing additional family members to each event.

    “This is one of the best conferences I’ve ever attended. The diversity of topics, the openness and candidness of the attendees, the structure. All of it was awesome.”

    “The best ever! Messages were clear, consistent and well organized. People shared openly whether on stage or otherwise.”

    “This was a great conference—the person-to person idea exchanges were vibrant.”

    “I always learn something new and meet new people experiencing the same things I am. I’ve never had a support network like this one.”

    “I was amazed at how open everyone was about sharing their stories. I got several ideas on dealing with the issues facing our family and our business. Very beneficial.”

    “Loved having access to dynamic family businesses in a helpful environment. The speakers were so giving and open--a true gift!”

    “Very well done, with friendly people. The conference was set up to be very easy to talk to others and the crowd was really good.”

    “Best seminar I have attended. Focused on family rather than sponsors.”

    THE PRIVATE COMPANY GOVERNANCE SUMMIT 2018

    May 16-18, 2018 • Westin City Center, Washington, DC

    Would you recommend that other private company

    owners and directors attend this conference?

    Yes: 100%

    Source: PCGS attendee conference evaluations.

    The sixth annual Private Company Governance Summit (PCGS) serves the governance information needs of owners, shareholders, directors and advisory board members of closely-held, family–owned and private equity owned private companies. The conference is produced by Private Company Director, Directors & Boards and Family Business Magazine.

    Serving Middle Market Private CompaniesPCGS attendees represent middle market privately-owned companies, ranging in size from $50 million to well over $3 billion in annual revenues. Private Company Director was launched (in print and online) in 2013 to serve the governance needs of this important and hard-to-reach demographic.

    According to Deloitte LLP, 75% of the US companies in the middle market are privately-held. Of the privately-held companies, 36% are family-owned, 28% closely-held (non-family) and 36% are private-equity or VC-backed, or had some other ownership structure.

    Middle market companies are leading job growth, employing more than 50 million people and making a contribution of nearly $6.2 trillion to the U.S. economy. (Source: Middle Market Power Index from American Express and Dun & Bradstreet.)

    The United States is home to 55,700 middle market companies and generates the highest amount of economic output among such companies in major global markets. (Source: HSBC and Oxford Economics.)

    Each PCGS conference features:• Speakers who are serving directors or

    private company owners/shareholders, sharing practical, real-world experiences

    • Top flight keynote addresses

    • Collaborative discussion sessions

    • Breakouts covering key governance topics

    • Special content for private companies just beginning to develop formal governance

    • Exceptional networking opportunities

    The Private Boards of the Year Awards Dinner is a key feature of the Private Company Governance Summit.

    The Private Boards of the Year are selected through nominations, and then researched and vetted by the editorial team of Private Company Director and Directors & Boards magazines. Final selections and honorable mentions are made by a panel of independent judges.
