Passing the Torch: Ownership & Control

We’ll start with a practical, eye-opening look at the many ways ownership and control can be transferred to the next generation; gifting, selling, ESOPs, and more. Next, a candid panel of respected family business leaders will share real-world lessons from navigating succession inside their own companies—the wins, the surprises, and the hard calls. We’ll close by zooming out to the big picture, with a compelling analysis of today’s economic landscape and what it likely means for businesses through the rest of 2026. Thoughtful, practical, and refreshingly real—this is succession planning without the fluff.
