The North American Family Dynamics & Office Forum
About the Event
The North American Family Dynamics & Office Forum convenes in Vancouver, British Columbia on 15–16 September 2026, hosted at the landmark Vancouver Convention Centre on the waterfront of Burrard Inlet. This intimate gathering is tailored specifically for principals and senior leaders of family offices who recognise that human dynamics — not just financial strategy — determine whether family wealth endures across generations.
Vancouver provides an inspired setting: a globally connected, financially sophisticated city that is simultaneously one of North America's most liveable, with strong ties to the Asia-Pacific and a thriving family enterprise ecosystem. The Convention Centre's iconic sail-roof architecture and waterfront location set the tone for a forum that balances rigour with openness.
The agenda addresses the most pressing interpersonal and structural challenges facing North American family offices today: designing governance frameworks that accommodate growth and complexity, navigating succession transitions without fracturing family cohesion, engaging and preparing the next generation, and managing the psychological dimensions of wealth and shared ownership. Expert facilitators lead structured dialogues that surface real-world tensions and practical solutions.
Campden Wealth's research infrastructure provides the empirical backbone to the discussions, drawing on its annual North American Family Office Report and proprietary peer benchmarking data. Attendance is strictly limited to qualifying family offices and invited family enterprise principals to ensure a high-trust, peer-level environment.
