Summit in Dubai made global headlines as the most significant & influential family office gathering
of all time.

Business Owners, Sheikhs, Royal Families, Private Investment Companies, International
Business Moguls, Sovereign Wealth Funds, & industry professionals from across the Middle
East and around the globe are scheduled to attend, representing over $4 trillion in investor wealth

between like minded peers in a safe-harbour environment.
The summit is a private forum exclusively organised by family offices for family offices,
ultra elite private investors, prominent business owners, Sheikhs, Royal family members,
financial families and their private offices from around the world. The summit brings together the

returns in a low-rate, high volatility market. Facilitated by family offices, the summit will provide
two days of private peer-to-peer conversation, networking and cross-border thought
leadership designed to make you think about what to look out for, how you are investing, and
why?
“The most highly acclaimed gathering of Middle East & Global Wealth to date”
Summit Host - Sir Anthony Ritossa, Chairman, Ritossa Family Office.
Ritossa Olive Oil & Family Office represents the distillation of six hundred years of history
- of a grove, a family and a region. The gnarled roots of the Ritossa olive groves have
persevered through war and natural disasters, through changes of climate and country,
and under the rule of warrior princes, wealthy merchant kings & modern despots. The
Family Office is known for their contrarian investments which have included the US
Subprime Crisis, the European Sovereign Debt & Banking Crisis, and various strategic
PE, RE & blockchain allocations.
