More than 150 Nigeria’s leading family business leaders and shareholders, will be brainstorming on turning the harsh operating environment into opportunities, at the Family Business Summit 2024.
This year’s summit, themed “Family Business Legacy: Strategies for Building and Maintaining Multigenerational Wealth,” will take place in Lagos and Ogun state from October 17th to 20th, 2024.
The summit will feature over six hours of in-depth discussions, a boot camp designed for the next generation of family business leaders, providing valuable insights into leadership transitions and equipping them with the skills needed to lead their family businesses into the future, themed workshops, and networking events covering crucial topics like corporate governance, financing, and generational handover.
The summit will also feature a special book launch and presentation of “City Wall: We all Lived by selling”, by Munzali Dantata- a book about the story of Kano, covering the trans-Sahara trade, through colonial rule and the early years of independent Nigeria, through the eyes of an entrepreneur.
Leaders from Nigeria’s top family businesses will also share insights on navigating challenges and driving innovation. Participants can engage in small group workshops and exclusive meetings with experts for practical solutions. The event will conclude with a gala ceremony recognizing the Top 10 National Family Businesses of the Year and celebrating outstanding achievements in the sector.
