UToledo Family Business Center

Family Business Alliance Conference 2024

The Family Business Alliance was formed in 2003 to bring together directors of university-based family business programs. While this remains an informal association of professionals, we welcome the participation of additional directors of family business programs in the academic space. There are approximately 50 centers dispersed throughout the United States and Canada that are affiliated with the Family Business Alliance. For an up-to-date list of affiliated family business centers, as well as an archive and schedule of Family Business Alliance meetings, please visit the Family Business Success Blog.

Conference Overview

Each year, the Family Business Alliance hosts an annual meeting at one of the participating campuses. Attendees include directors, program managers, university officials and key stakeholders. While in each region, we also have the opportunity to visit with local family businesses and leaders. This year the University of Toledo Family Business Center welcomes you to Toledo, Ohio!
