London Family Office & High Net Worth Annual Conference

The London Family Office & High Net Worth Annual Conference is the UK event in the DC Finance series and is now in its tenth year. It runs for a single day at The Berkeley in Knightsbridge and draws ultra-high-net-worth individuals and single family offices from across the UK and Europe. Recent editions have carried more than thirty speakers.

Who attends

The stated audience is wealthy individuals, family members and the people who run their offices. DC Finance publishes no eligibility test, no asset threshold and no cap on how many places go to firms selling into the room, so the room is mixed by design.

The speaker list is the more useful signal here. Recent editions have put family principals and next-generation members on stage alongside the usual investment and advisory names, which is a reasonable sign that families are in the audience too rather than only being spoken about. It is not the same guarantee that a screened forum gives, but it is more than most open conferences offer.

How access works

Registration is open online through the conference site, which routes to DC Finance's central portal. The organiser does not publish ticket prices and does not advertise a separate rate for family offices, so terms have to be confirmed directly. DC Finance keeps offices in both New York and London.

What attendees get

A single day covering a deliberately broad agenda: market outlook, real estate, technology and alternative investments, estate planning, preparing the next generation, women's entrepreneurship, family business dynamics, philanthropy and impact investing, and art and legacy.

For a UK or European family office, the case is efficiency. London already holds more family office events than any other European city, most of them either screened forums with an application process or investment conferences aimed at fund selectors. This one sits between the two: open to register for, wide in subject matter, and over in a day. That makes it a sensible first event for an office that is new to the circuit and wants to see the range of what is available before committing to the longer, harder-to-enter forums.

DC Finance runs the same format in New York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Miami.
