ABOUT

SFO Week, our flagship members meeting, will be held on 14-16 June 2023 in London. 14-15 June are the investment days and 16 June is an optional social day.

SFO Week brings together a carefully pre-qualified group of single family offices for closed-door peer-to peer salon discussions focused on investing.

Our investment content accommodates those who invest both via funds and direct, and includes streams covering venture capital, private equity, real estate, fixed income, commodities and hedge funds. On popular request we have also added optional speed dating where members can meet their peers one on-one.

The venue is Church House Conference Centre, Dean’s Yard, Westminster, London, SW1P 3NZ. During registration you will select your specific dialogue preferences.

Numbers are limited for the garden party and dinner, so I would encourage you to register as soon as you can.

Please reach out with any questions, and we look forward to seeing you at the event.

Best Regards,
Keith Johnston
CEO, SFO Alliance

PARTICIPANTS

Attendees from bona fide single family offices include:

CEOs
CIOS
Investment Professionals
Principals

SFO Week 2023 will attract over 250 single family offices, with all sessions moderated by SFO executives. The vast majority of speakers and attendees are SFO professionals. They invest via funds and/or direct and their asset-class focus ranges across venture capital, private equity, real estate, fixed income, commodities, and hedge funds.

Efficient Networking

Part of the SFO Alliance mission is to help people find matching peers, no matter where they may be located. Therefore, a new feature of this year’s event will be speed dating between members, which is only possible because of the large number of genuine families that attend.
