Previous Edition

July 2019 marks fifty years since “one giant leap” took us to the moon. The race to space was a study in global competition, ingenuity, innovation, embracing risk, and imagining the impossible. It was a pioneering time with long-lasting impact—more than 63,000 technologies that we still routinely use were discovered and created as the result of these programs.

So maybe you didn’t go to the moon fifty years ago or, even metaphorically, sometime in the recent past! All the more reason to come to the FFI Global Conference in Miami in October. Here’s what awaits you on a 2019 moon landing that explores the challenges faced by family enterprises, their advisors and consultants, and the researchers and academics on this planet.
