Family Business conference

Following a long tradition globally, PwC is once again hosting its annual one-day family business conference in South Africa in 2022. Designed for active as well as inactive members of multigenerational family businesses and their Next Gens, we’ll share insights on why family businesses are different and how they create their legacies.

The conference is a platform for top SA family business leaders to share, learn and network with each other. We are bringing together family business leaders and global and local family business specialists to share their insights on their family business journeys and trusted advisory approaches.

We invite you to join our dialogue around our theme of  ‘Build trust. Harvest Legacy’, facilitated by a high-profile line-up of speakers and panelists. Balancing the three dimensions of business, ownership and family, family businesses are not only the backbone of SA’s economy, they also play a strong role in our society’s culture and values. Often, family businesses are the vehicles for social responsibility and environmental sustainability in their communities.

Sharing real-life business cases in our interactive workshops with leading SA family businesses and family business specialists, we’ll reveal the learnings from their challenges and analyse what lies behind the success stories that family businesses in South Africa have been building their legacies with. Demonstrating thought leadership in the family business space, we believe in the focus on our personal relationships, networks, and the learning we can generate from sharing and collaborating with other business families. Because our experience shows: the scale of impact can be enormous when family businesses realise that they are not alone with their issues.
