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. 4TH ANNUAL FOR AWARDS JANUARY 29, 2015 HOUSTONIAN HOTEL, HOUSTON PARTNER INVITATION 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.
