"For affluent families, it is essential to gain a balanced perspective about evolving domestic and international conditions," commented Wendy Craft, EVP and General Counsel at Fulcrum Equities, and Chair of the East Coast Conference Steering Committee. "The families and their trusted advisors must determine where and when potentially viable opportunities exist, and develop a plan of action to take advantage of them, while also mitigating what arguably are the greater quantitative and qualitative risks existing in today's world."

Addressing a broad range of topics of importance to high net worth individuals and families, the Conference includes a session on "Assessing the Investment Opportunities Related to the Ongoing Technology Revolution". Moderated by the charismatic veteran serial entrepreneur Dr. Yossi Vardi, the session will include unique insights by industry thought leaders from, Y&R and eBay, and other leading firms, on ways to identify solid growth companies and how to invest correctly in this fast-evolving, lucrative sector.

Other topics to be covered via panel sessions and presentations will include inter-generational wealth education and transference, options for establishing and managing single family offices, the global economy, investments, the regulatory environment, family business management, philanthropy and social impact investing.

"The markets are returning to levels not seen since 2008, and yet people are still very cautious about investments," adds Denny Chared, founder and CEO of DC Finance. "We aim to help families and their advisors learn about the approaches that helped make growth possible during the financial turbulence in recent years, including a unique insight into exciting technology sectors, such as those emerging from Israel at the moment. This will enable families and their advisors to further identify winning investment strategies in markets that are set to drive future growth."
