The Unfashionable Fall of the House of Gucci

TogetHER: Women in Family Business Event
Join us for our second TogetHER event as we explore the missteps of the Gucci family based on the book and blockbuster movie. Hear where they fell short in their family communication and planning, and how you can learn from their epic mistakes.
Taking a closer look at key themes from House of Gucci, we will consider and discuss some of the most critical issues faced by business owning families, including: Preparing the Family for Money, Protecting the Family Business, and Preserving the Family Legacy.
Who Should Attend: This event is designed for all women connected to a family business. Leaders, Next Gen (both in and outside the business) as well as spouses are invited and encouraged to attend. The event will feature facilitated table conversations with peers. We aim to build community and spark authentic conversations between women in the family business.
