Family businesses represent a predominant form of business organisation in the world. These heterogeneous enterprises offer a challenging array of issues to study and are beginning to receive substantial scholarly attention.

It will have a sizeable international participation and several prominent Next Gen leaders from different countries shall be seen addressing the audience and sharing case studies. The three-day event will direct attention on diverse themes of interest to young business leaders, such as social media, viral marketing and brand building.
