Family Business 360

For more than a decade, the monthly FB360 series has brought experts, family business owners, their employees and their advisors together to explore topics like succession, communication, employee retention and governance.

FB360 provides a reliable place for family businesses to go to gain expertise and hear about speakers’ lived experiences. Our goal is to help family businesses thrive across generations.

FB360 events take place virtually, so you can join us no matter where you are, and all of them are free of charge.

They are typically held on the second Wednesday of each month at 8:30 AM. Click here to learn more about FB360 and here for the list of upcoming events.
