Forbes Middle East's inaugural Family Business Summit runs 28–29 October 2026 at the Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas on Saadiyat Island, held under the patronage of the UAE Ministry of Economy and Tourism and presented by First Abu Dhabi Bank. The organizer's own agenda runs a main programme on 28 October — the opening keynote by H.E. Juma Mohammed Al Kait, the Abu Dhabi Advantage panel, sessions on family capital and private banking, an awards ceremony for the companies on Forbes Middle East's 2026 list of leading Arab family businesses, and a signing ceremony with the Abu Dhabi Family Business Council — alongside a parallel Successors Forum track on next-generation leadership, growth strategy and leadership transition. Forbes Middle East's launch release puts the programme at more than 60 speakers and an expected attendance of around 3,000 participants, and names the partner line-up: the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, the Abu Dhabi Family Business Council and ADGM as strategic partners, EFG Hermes as event partner, ADGM Academy as knowledge partner, and ADFD, Hub71, the Emirates Family Office Association, the European-Emirati Business Council and the Pearl Initiative as supporting partners. SCOPE, STATED HONESTLY: the organizer publishes speaker names and titles, not a delegate list or a confirmed attendance figure for the edition, so nothing here is an attendance list and no capital number or deal is asserted. The venue pin is the organizer's own published venue, geocoded on OpenStreetMap this run. Public OSINT only; no invented attendees, net-worth or deals.
