Experience FBN Ireland at Work

Every year, we bring Ireland’s family business community together for the National Family Business Conference — a flagship event for connection, learning and inspiration.

The 2025 Conference, held at The Helix, featured keynote sessions from leading Irish and international family business figures, alongside expert panels exploring succession planning, governance, sustainability and innovation.

Beyond our national conference, members take part in:

• Regional chapter gatherings across Ireland
• Next-Gen leadership forums
• Peer learning workshops and family business roundtables
• Mentoring and advisory sessions

These events create trusted spaces for open, generational conversations — helping families share knowledge, navigate transitions, and sustain their legacies.

If you are a family member of a family in business and would like to hear more of our plans and what we do, please contact our Executive Director, John McGrane by sending an email to john.mcgrane@fbnireland.ie/ +353 87 245 9898.

All enquiries will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. FBN Ireland will outline possible benefits, discuss the profile of our current members and listen to your particular requirements. We will advise if FBN could be of benefit for your family as you seek to continue as a family in business.
