Celebrating 20 years of the Family Business Network - Theme: Connecting Generations
A festive Gala Evening is the close of the 20th FBN Summit. Building on the joyful elements of the past and blending with the typical Dutch festivity culture this Gala evening is a truly inspirational celebration of what we as business owning families have in common: our passion for entrepreneurship and our dedication to continue for generations to come. This "grand finale" is held in yet another historic icon thanks to two Dutch brothers that built a 20th century industrial monument now called the Amsterdam Convention Factory.
Dress code: Black tie/Festive gown
