HEC Family Business Summit 2025
Participate
The first student-led event of its kind, in partnership with the HEC Family Business Center: two days of genuine encounters and candid conversations about family business, featuring leaders from Chanel, Galeries Lafayette, the Peugeot family, and many more.
What does it really take to lead a business that carries your family's name — across generations, through crises, and into the future?
The HEC Family Business Summit is a first-of-its-kind event, organized by students of the MBA Family Business Club in partnership with the HEC Family Business Center. It brings together the next generation of family business leaders with some of the most compelling practitioners in the field. This is not a conference of polished keynotes — it's an intimate, high-trust space for honest conversations about succession, governance, legacy, and growth.
Confirmed Speakers
Leaders from exceptional houses have already confirmed their participation: Galeries Lafayette, Chanel, the Peugeot family, Derichebourg, Banque Wormser, and Maison Mellerio dits Meller — the oldest jeweller in the world.
Centuries of family legacy. Real conversations about leadership, ownership, and continuity.
More speakers to be announced soon.
