    FOX’s Family Office & Wealth Advisor Forum will bring together family office executives and advisors in the UHNW industry to discuss the most critical challenges and opportunities impacting professionals in family offices and wealth advisory firms, and the families they serve. From operational themes such as insurance, governance, or tax and estate planning, to navigating talent and transition challenges, attendees will walk away with tangible ideas for enhancing your work. For a portion of this forum, two tracks will be created: one which focuses on family office executive related content and one focused on advisor member firms programming.  FOX’s Family Office & Wealth Advisor Forum tends to be FOX’s most technical of the three FOX Forum’s and is built for the practitioners.
