Family enterprises represent nearly 90% of all businesses in Latin America. The management of these companies go through difficult times when mixing two fundamental elements:
love and money. Therefore, it's important to anticipate conflict and evaluate alternative mechanisms that allow family harmony and business continuity in the long term.

We offer this program in collaboration with INCAE Business School, drawing upon their expertise and network in the LATAM audience. The union of both business schools allows students to learn first-hand from professors and practitioners who know very well
both Latin America and the rest of the world.

For this event, we will also have the opportunity to share with many business families from different countries of the region and thus complement the learning with the experiences of the participants. Participants are encouraged to attend with family members to make this a truly meaningful experience.
