About the Summit

More than 100 family offices from the Middle East will once again gather in Dubai for two days of networking and meeting select service providers. 

Our panels this year are a mix of evergreen and also highly topical subjects that reflect the interests of the region’s family offices. Panellists and speakers are experts in their fields, and conversation is relaxed and open. 

Among our talking points this year are private equity and start-ups, real estate investment, wealth preservation, family office governance, and succession planning. 

We will also be taking a deep dive into fast-moving subjects such as the rise of Saudi Arabia’s influence, the future of the Gulf region and its family offices, geopolitics, and our changing ideas of what luxury living entails.

Important takeaways for our delegates are not only the information from the sessions, but also the networking opportunities presented by our 70:30 ratio of family offices to service providers. Between the scheduled sessions are networking breaks designed to allow all delegates the opportunity to meet each other at this intimate event.

Our story

The Alduaij family office has a long and illustrious history in Kuwait as one of the most prominent and respected business forces in the region, as well as one of the most socially responsible.

Through their networks, Alea Global have formed strong personal and professional relationships with other family offices across the globe, all sharing much common ground and a willingness to work together.

From this network, experience and expertise, a series of successful Family Office Investment Summits has arisen, attended by ruling and elite families from every region with an historic and enduring influence on the global economy.

Our Eleventh Middle East Family Office Investment Summit is the latest of these, building on the success of other such summits around the world.

As a family office ourselves – as well as your conference host – we understand the needs, concerns and wishes of family businesses better than anyone else. We share many of your experiences and objectives, and we understand what makes an event like this beneficial to family offices as well as service providers.
