About the Summit
Alea Global Group will return once again in 2027 to gather more than 70 of the region’s most prominent family offices together for our European Family Office Investment Summit. Now a firm fixture in the calendar of family offices in the region, as well as those who want to do business with them, we are delighted that the Summit has gone from strength to strength since our first such event in London in 2021.
Our programme this year incorporates evergreen family office issues such as succession planning, the latest in real estate investment, private equity and wealth management. Added to this we will take a look at new geopolitical developments affecting international investment, and newer areas of investment such as AI and digital assets. We will also take a look at cultural investment and national identities in Europe, including how and why countries distinguish themselves from one another so clearly in the region.
Alea Global Group network draws family office members themselves to participate in our events. This, along with our strategic programming and intimate scale, offers service providers an unparalleled opportunity to speak with decision-makers directly at the Summit.
Our Story
The Alduaij family office has a long and illustrious history in Kuwait as one of the most prominent and respected business forces in the region, as well as one of the most socially responsible.
Through their networks, Alea Global have formed strong personal and professional relationships with other family offices across the globe, all sharing much common ground and a willingness to work together.
From this network, experience and expertise, a series of successful Family Office Investment Summits has arisen, attended by ruling and elite families from every region with an historic and enduring influence on the global economy.
Our Third Europe Family Office Investment Summit is the latest of these, building on the success of other such summits around the world.
As a family office ourselves – as well as your conference host – we understand the needs, concerns and wishes of family businesses better than anyone else. We share many of your experiences and objectives, and we understand what makes an event like this beneficial to family offices as well as service providers.
