Family Office Exchange unveiled the theme of its latest workshop as “designing an effective family office.”

The event will run for a day and a half and cover best practices collected from the firm’s benchmarking and consulting projects over the year.

“The ‘Family Office Blueprint’ is a detailed sequence of steps used to customize a family office to a particular family situation,” FOX said.

"We’re offering this workshop because we’ve found that there is very little formalized training available in the marketplace on how to operate a successful family office," said Karen Neal, managing director of FOX.

The event is open to members and non-members and will be held in Chicago on May 13-14.
