4TH ANNUAL FOR AWARDS JANUARY 29, 2015
HOUSTONIAN HOTEL, HOUSTON
PARTNER INVITATION
We are pleased to present the 4th Annual Family Office Review
Awards North America. In keeping with our tradition of innovation,
this year we bring you an exciting change of scenery as we move the
event to Houston. Why?
Houston is one of the largest cities in America
Forbes Magazine has dubbed Houston “The Third Coast”
Houston is the Energy Capital of the world and a major center of wealth
Houston also boasts one of the most rapidly growing populations in America
and a vibrant community of family offices and wealth advisors of all types
Houston weather is pleasant in January, making it a great place to kick off the
new year and celebrate the past year’s achievements within North American
family offices
You are invited to join us as a Partner in this memorable event. The feedback
from the past three years at the FOR Awards has been overwhelming positive. The
event fosters high quality interactions within a festive, relaxed atmosphere, which
past Partners have found to be highly conducive to making valuable connections. Our
Partners become closely involved in creating the programs and participating in both
the day forum and evening ceremony.
The Houstonian Hotel Club & Spa, one of the city’s most elegant hotels, is the venue
for our day program and evening gala dinner. Located near the Galleria, it was
named by Travel & Leisure Magazine as number 11 in the world among top hotels
and resorts in 2010.
“We started the FOR Awards in 2011 to reflect, share and
celebrate the richness of experience within our community. We
have the privilege to write about all of you each year and with
this awards program we create a special space and time to
shine the light on the best of the best – YOU, whom we are so
fortunate to meet every day. We put on the awards in the spirit
of respect and gratitude for the opportunity to work with you.”
WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN US?
As we all know, there are many other events
to attend and groups to join in this space what makes this awards gala so special? This
is personal… to us and to the audience. We
create an unusual, engaging program for both
day and night that leaves people with food
for thought and inspiration. And while it is an
elegant setting, we also have fun.
4TH ANNUAL FOR AWARDS JANUARY 29, 2015
HOUSTONIAN HOTEL, HOUSTON
PARTNER INVITATION
This is deliberately a small event
relative to other events in this
sector. We give a limited number of
awards to ensure that being a finalist
and a winner is recognized in the
industry as a meaningful honor and
a reflection of real achievement and
excellence. We also limit the number
of seats to allow everyone who
attends a personal experience and
high quality interaction with fellow
guests.
More so than most other sectors, family offices and businesses select their service
providers on the basis of personal connection and measure their success on factors
beyond mere numbers performance.
“The FOR Awards are anchored in the power of stories. Stories
connect us, and our mission is to create connection through
sharing and celebrating these stories.”
We’ve designed the nomination form this year to invite nominees to tell us all about
them in story form as well as provide objective data. With nominees’ permission, we
will publish a short anecdote from each on our awards page on the main website.
Family Office Review was purposefully founded as a magazine-style
publication, with enough space and time to dig into the histories and current
adventures of the people and companies we write about. Over the past four
years, we’ve built a global reputation we are proud of for excellence in original
coverage of this industry. We take these awards very personally and strive
to make the experience of the day and the evening programs likewise
personally enriching for each person who attends. We also strive to
ensure you, our Partners, find this event helpful in presenting yourselves
as the best in your field - leaders and innovators.

AWARDS
CATEGORIES
Everyone working for and with family offices has a story. The FOR Awards were
created to offer recognition for the individuals and corporations who are the driving
forces behind the growth in family offices and family wealth in general. Innovation,
leadership and entrepreneurial creativity are themes worthy of special attention
as the ingredients necessary for excellence in family office and wealth management.
Accordingly, we have shaped the awards categories this year to reflect focus on
nominees displaying these qualities.
We are proud to tell the stories of our nominees, finalists and winners.
