The Global Family Office Investment Summit Led by Anthony Ritossa Returns to Miami for the Landmark 30th Anniversary Summit.
More than 300 international family office investors, visionary entrepreneurs, founders, and industry professionals will gather in Miami for the 30th Anniversary Edition of the Global Family Office Investment Summit. Led by Anthony Ritossa, GFOIS is also celebrating 10 years of building the global GFOIS community.
Last November in Miami, during the 28th Edition, conversations at the summit sparked millions of dollars in investment activity. This demonstrates the power of aligned capital when the right people connect in the right environment.
Over the past decade, the Global Family Office Investment Summit has grown far beyond a regular conference. It has developed into a trusted global network that connects decision makers who believe capital should be used to build lasting legacies rather than pursue short-term exits.
Anthony Ritossa, founder of the Global Family Office Investment Summits, captured the essence when he said, “Over the past decade, this community has grown into more than a summit. It has become a global network that feels like a family of decision makers who believe that capital should build legacies, not just exits.”
A Decade of Impactful Global Connections
The summit has evolved into a powerful bridge between the Middle East and the United States. Under the patronage of H.H. Sheikha Jawaher Bint Khalifa Al Khalifa, the series continues to strengthen ties between regions. Dubai and Miami have become established gateway cities, with Bahrain expected to host future editions.
This 30th edition will take place on March 24 and 25, 2026, at the Trump International Beach Resort in Sunny Isles, Miami. The two-day program is designed to facilitate high-level dialogue, relationship building, and investment opportunities across multiple sectors, including venture capital, defense tech, artificial intelligence, healthcare, real estate, digital assets, and Web3.
Visionary Panels Spotlight Innovation and Influence
The agenda features several high-profile panels and fireside chats. Day one will open with a keynote panel on mastering venture capital investments for family offices. Later sessions will explore AI startups, the investment landscape in the UAE, the Middle East, and India, and healthcare and longevity innovations.
A highlight of the program is the WOMAN LED panel titled Power, Purpose and Profit: The New Architecture of Influence. Victoria Kennedy, CEO of Victorious PR, will join as a panelist. She will share insights on building influential brands and driving strategic growth for family offices and high-net-worth individuals.
One of the standout sessions will focus on national security and defense technology. The panel titled Investing in National Security: The Next Frontier in Defense Tech will bring together leading voices to explore opportunities in this rapidly evolving sector. Lt. Col. (Ret.) Dr. Iryna Andrukh, a strategic leader, decorated combat veteran, international negotiator, and PhD psychologist with extensive experience in defense policy, energy security, forensic psychology, and resilience, will deliver valuable perspectives. Family offices are showing increased interest in defense technology investments as a way to achieve both strong financial returns and meaningful strategic impact in an uncertain global environment. Moderated by Alan Reid of Arista Group Family Office, the discussion also includes Alex Fesiak, Justin Zeefe, and Scott Stevens.
Other notable sessions include a spotlight on iconic global family office investors and discussions on regenerative medicine, digital assets, and co-investment opportunities. The program also includes exclusive fireside chats with leading figures such as Timothy L. Smith on portfolio optimization and members of the Lazarian family office.
Exclusive Networking and Investment Opportunities at the Trump International Beach Resort
The Trump International Beach Resort will serve as the backdrop for the summit, with the Ocean Ballroom hosting the main proceedings. Delegates can expect networking lunches, evening receptions, and interactive round table discussions covering topics such as Miami real estate, sustainable agriculture, and advanced medical treatments.
Day two will feature panels on digital assets and Web3, real estate tokenization, and national security and defense technology. The summit will conclude with a grand finale keynote panel in which top family offices and iconic investors will share their proprietary investment ideas.
Throughout the event, the emphasis remains on quality connections and long-term thinking. With a rich lineup of speakers and a proven track record of generating substantial deal flow, the 30th Anniversary Edition is positioned as the premier platform for family offices and entrepreneurs seeking meaningful partnerships in Miami.
Ambassador Dr. PhD. Luis Suarez congratulated Anthony Ritossa on his professionalism and for once again hosting this great event.
