The top 5 can’t miss moments of The Family Business Conference – Asia Pacific 2022

The Family Business Conference – Asia Pacific is dedicated to supporting families in business across generations. It is a melting pot of experience and wisdom that enables you to grow, nurture and expand your family business.
From 9-11 March 2022 at the RACV Royal Pines Resort Gold Coast, hundreds of leading family businesses will gather to learn, engage, and connect with other like-minded individuals.
Over the course of three days, listen to a high-calibre of guest speakers, connect with family businesses from across Australia and New Zealand and get involved with a wide range of social activities that will help expand your network.
With so much to do at The Family Business Conference, we’ve put together our top five can’t miss moments in the program so you can start curating your conference, your way.
1. Masterclasses for everyone to learn from
Whether you are from a family business or an advisor to family businesses, we have a master class for you. Our family business masterclass will be facilitated by global thought leader, Gabrielle Dolan, who will challenge your fundamental assumptions around storytelling and communicating in business today.
If you are part of the emerging generations of your family business, the team from Hatched will bring their expertise to the table and provide you and your fellow leaders of tomorrow with ideas, tools and strategies that will help you further your agenda to do business that’s good for world.
For our family business advisors, join FBA Specialist Accredited Family Business Advisor, John Broons as well as a team of facilitators to explore how you can better enable your family business clients to succeed. Rethink your views on family business advising through the expertise of the facilitators and the sharing of experiences with your peers.

2. Longest Lunches
We understand just how important it is, now more than ever, to create meaningful, fun experiences for family businesses to connect with others within the family business community.
Join us the day before the conference program kicks off on Wednesday, 9 March for the Longest Lunch – a true highlight each year! This event is your opportunity to catch-up and mingle with old friends and make new connections over lunch.
On the lawns of RACV Royal Pines, come and enjoy an afternoon with ‘la familia’. Enjoy a 3-course ‘family style’ garden lunch, as you graze on wood-fired pizzas and a host of Mediterranean delights! The Longest Lunch is the perfect way to enhance your conference experience, with an afternoon of great food, drinks, and company.
If you are part of the emerging generations, join us at Miami Marketta for the Emerging Generations Longest Lunch. As with most things in life, it often helps to be surrounded by a community of trusted friends and colleagues that can relate to your situation and offer advice, support, and inspiration when you need it.
At the Emerging Generations Longest Lunch, connect with other next generation members with the family business community in a fun and truly unique space!

3. Breakfast events
The popular saying ‘the early bird catches the worm’ has never been more true at The Family Business Conference. Join us for two amazing breakfast events that will get you ready to tackle the rest of the day.
B2B Speed Networking
If you are looking to make new business connections and broaden your network, then this event is for you! B2B Speed Networking works a lot like ‘speed dating’ without the ‘dating’. Join us on Thursday, 10 March to meet accomplished businesses just like yourself, face to face, one business professional at a time. This event offers the perfect opportunity to expand your business, social or enterprise contacts. Don’t forget to come armed with your business cards … you never know who you might meet!
Women in Family Business Breakfast
What is the particular relevance to women in Family Business and their wellbeing? Everything.
Join us on Friday, 11 March as Fabian Dattner, a global expert on leadership, inspires you to consider the part you play and why women’s voices matter now more than ever.
This is a breakfast not to be missed. Bring a senior male with you. You will leave with a significantly elevated sense of what you can do together and why it needs the mindset of a marathon runner.
Join us for a delicious hot breakfast that is both an enlightening and empowering learning experience. Converse with fellow women across multiple industries and create lasting connections.

4. Gala Dinner
Get ready to let your hair down and dance the night away! The Gala Dinner is the perfect way to wrap up the conference week and this event is set to be a true extravaganza!
In an undercover setting at RACV Royal Pines Resort, enjoy three delicious courses, prepared by the resident Executive Chef Glenn Bacon.
Our final night of festivities will bring together families and new friends as we enjoy a truly spectacular evening. This will be the family business social event of the year, and one not to be missed!

5. Ambrose Golf Tournament
Not ready for the conference to end just yet? Rise and shine early on Saturday and join us for a spot of golf! You’re invited to play a round of 18 holes, Ambrose style. Be placed in a team or get a group of 4 together and play in a scramble competition using team handicaps to produce a net score.
Don’t miss the opportunity to play on the Gold Coast’s only 27-hole golf course, and one that is also host to the Australian PGA Championship. With undulating terrain, magnificent greens and tight fairways that demand respect, this is the golf encounter you’ve been waiting for.
We have great prizes to give away for closest to the pin, the longest drive and overall winning team.

So what are you waiting for? Secure your place at The Family Business Conference – Asia Pacific next year to make sure you don’t miss these unforgettable moments! We look forward to seeing you there.
