family business
association
The Family Business Conference is an initiative of Family Business Association (FBA), the peak body for family businesses in Australia and New Zealand, helping family businesses to grow and thrive. Uniquely family business focused, FBA helps members navigate the nuanced intersection of family dynamics and business operations, including succession planning, governance, financial management and strategic planning.
A family business COMMUNITY
There is something truly special about the FBA community, where like-minded peers come together, creating a supportive and trusting environment for each other. The vulnerability, openness to share, and readiness to assist each other is a testament to the strength and camaraderie of the FBA community and the special ‘magic dust’ they create.
