On September 23rd & 24th, 2025, The Family Office Association will be hosting our 11th Annual Single Family Office Symposium at Space Center Houston. We are pleased to share the following speakers have confirmed their participation: General David Petraeus, Kyle Bass, Jeff Immelt, George P. Bush, Drew McKnight, Jim Lee, and William Harris.

Our annual symposium is the preeminent event for the family office buy-side community to hear from leading industry practitioners and policy experts. And since TFOA is a peer network, not a commercial business, we donate profits from our symposium; this year to The Manned Space Flight Education Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization
Why is TFOAs Annual Single Family Office Symposium unique?
✔️ Speakers are invited to attend based on their expertise, not because they pay for the opportunity.
✔️ Sponsors are aligned philosophically with our long-term relationship and brand building approach. There is no solicitation.
✔️ Attendees are family office executives and principals who actively engage in our single-family office community throughout the year.
✔️ We partner with organizations that align with our commitment to learning and education. Profits from our symposium are donated to charity.
✔️ TFOA is not a commercial organization. Everything we do is designed to ensure a high-quality and high impact experience for our stakeholders.
Note: All programs from prior symposia are available here: Programs
We hope you can join us this year!
