"The agenda is packed with updates from the foremost speakers on security, philanthropy, and tax & estate planning. We will also hear from one of FOX’s most sophisticated family office members who will present the results of a major project to modernize their business processes and technology.”
The Forum brings together a dozen top technology providers to demonstrate their newest and most-innovative products for the family office. “It is a huge convenience for our members to have access to this select group of technology solutions in one place, in one afternoon.
