THE fifth edition of the Family Enterprise Excellence Conference (FEEC) is will be on Friday and Saturday at the Marco Polo Plaza Hotel Cebu.
Like its previous legs, participants can expect a powerful set of experts who will share their knowledge and expertise as they tackle relevant issues for family businesses today.
What makes the conference special is that this year, Premier Family Business Consulting (PFBC) has invited four international speakers who are highly respected in their respective industries.
Toshio Goto, one of the leading and pioneering family business consultants in Japan, and Borja Raventos, a family business advisor in Europe and 18th generation member of the oldest family business in Spain founded in 1550s, are set to speak at the event.
Other speakers include Roger King from Harvard University, who is the founder of the Center for Asian Family Business and Entrepreneurship Studies of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and Jeremy Cheng, a trans-generational entrepreneurship expert from Hong Kong.
Cebu’s very own Espina-Garcia cousins from the century-old power generation business, and architect Felino “Jun” Palafox, who owns the top Filipino family-owned architectural firm in the world, will also be speaking during the FEEC.
“We hope that families in business can come and take part in this very rare opportunity to learn from the best,” said Neil Montesclaros, PFBC executive director.
With business families from Manila, Baguio, Makati, Quezon City, Paranaque, Pasig, Zamboanga, Koronadal, Dumaguete, Davao, Cagayan De Oro, Bohol, Leyte, Bacolod, Ozamis, Dipolog, Laguna, Mindoro, Cotabato, Calbayog, Surigao, Iligan, and Sorsogon raring to converge with the Cebuano family businesses, the 2018 FEEC is a national affair. And with foreign participants coming from Hong Kong and Malaysia, it is a rare learning forum happening at the center of the Philippines. (PR)
