Family offices drive surge in tailored conferences with notable return of Anthony Ritossa

Family offices, which manage about $3.1 trillion in assets globally, have surged in popularity, leading to a significant increase in tailored conferences. In 2024, there were 123 family-office conferences, and 244 are planned for 2025. The return of Anthony Ritossa marks a notable development in this space. His recent Global Family Office Investment Summit in Miami attracted over 250 high-net-worth individuals, despite past controversies regarding his credentials and business practices. While many conferences are vendor-driven, some, like those organized by the Wharton Global Family Alliance, focus on family-to-family dialogue. Attendees often prioritize the presence of other influential families over the event's organizers.
