The NI Family Business Forum has been created as a hub for family firms to connect with each other, share experiences, exchange ideas and learn in a friendly and sociable setting.
The forum will host regular events exclusively for family owned businesses, providing an opportunity to meet other business owners, hear stories from guest speakers and benefit from the skills of experts in sector.
Each event will be focused on a specific theme, hosted in a private, confidential environment and reserved for smaller groups to exchange lively and focused networking.
