Speaking at the UK Family Office Risk & Technology Conference 2027

The UK Family Office Risk & Technology Conference 2027 is a closed, principal-majority event — which means that speaking at UKFOS is a materially different experience from speaking at an open-registration financial services conference. The room is populated exclusively by verified single family office principals and CIOs, each present in a personal investment capacity. There are no service providers pitching from the audience, no PR representatives taking notes for media placement, and no general public in the room. This creates a quality of candid peer dialogue that is not available at open conferences — but it also creates a different kind of pressure on speakers. Principals at UKFOS ask the questions that matter to them, not the polite questions that populate conference Q&A sessions. Speaker applications are restricted to family office principals, CIOs and institutional investment leads with direct, personal experience of the conference themes — cybersecurity and digital security, AI and technology, tax-aware investing and law, and governance and operational resilience. Service providers, fund managers and advisers wishing to present should enquire about sponsor positions rather than speaker applications.
