FO NextGen Edition

FO NextGen Edition, the next-generation strand of the Middle East's flagship Family Office Summit series, returns to Dubai on 10 December 2026 at SO/ Uptown Dubai. Organised by FO Summit — a trademarked UAE event brand established in 2022 — the gathering is curated for next-gen family members, Single Family Office (SFO) and Multi Family Office (MFO) principals, family office executives, and family holding decision-makers. Capacity is capped at 100 attendees, all approved by the Summit Committee.

The 2026 theme — 'Legacy 2.0: Responsibility and Authority, not just Innovation' — frames how heirs transition from beneficiaries into decision-makers. The full-day programme (08:30–19:00) is anchored by eight panel discussions, a Round Table Arena, and a post-event cocktail evening. Confirmed agenda blocks include Governance 2.0 (family constitutions, voting rights, investment committees); The Next-Gen Investment Mandate (public, private, and direct investing); Building a Data-Native Family Office (AI, reporting, cybersecurity); Direct vs Delegated Capital; Real Estate strategy; Digital Assets (tokenisation, custody, regulation); Purpose as Strategy; Entrepreneurial Spin-Outs; Longevity as an Asset Class; Climate Allocation & Transition Finance; and Designing Family Offices That Outlive Generations.

Past FO Summit editions have hosted principals from Guggenheim Family, Boschen Family Office, Kanoo Group, Sarasin Family Office, PLV Capital, Bosov Family Office, Five Oceans Family Office, Veddis Family Office, Dana Group, Caovilla Family Office, Norton Holdings, and SS Lootah Group — 80% of speakers are family office members or staff.

Attendance requires pre-event questionnaire completion and Summit Committee approval. Registration: familyofficesummit.ae/fo-nextgen. Language: English. The host venue, SO/ Uptown Dubai, sits within the Uptown Dubai district adjacent to JLT.
