Europe Regional Institute

Registration is now open for our 2026 Europe Regional Institute! The Institute is set to begin the afternoon of June 15 with a welcome reception, followed by the programming on June 16. We are also looking forward to celebrating the relaunch of the WCD France Chapter at the event.

The theme for this year's institute is: From Resilience to Reinvention: How Boards Can Redefine Value in Europe.

EVENT

Peer Exchange: May 13 (Virtual)

Private Company & Family Business Peer Exchange

Unlocking Family Office Capital: Strategy, Access, and Relationship Architecture

For companies looking to raise capital, family offices have increasingly become a viable source of funding. Unlike venture capital or private equity, family offices have more flexibility around return of capital, allowing for longer-term investment horizons. This Peer Exchange will explore how family offices evaluate opportunities, what differentiates them from other institutional capital, and what boards and management should understand about their investment mandates, governance expectations, and risk tolerance.
