About Symposium

About CAFE Symposium

The CAFE Symposium was established in 1989 and is held every two years to provide a forum for business families and family advisors from across Canada to learn, network and share ideas. A jam-packed 2 day agenda of keynote presentations and interactive workshops delivered by industry experts provides family business leaders with current trends and best practices in the field of family enterprise.

About CAFE FEYA Gala

The Family Enterprise of the Year Achievement Awards (FEYA) was created in 1986 out of a need to promote and demonstrate the value and importance of a critical segment of the Canadian economy - Family Business - an industry segment that employs more than 6 million Canadians and accounts for more than 50% of Canada’s GDP. On Friday May 25, 2012 the three FEYA finalists will be honored and one will be chosen as the CAFE Family Enterprise of the Year.  This spectacular gala celebration will be hosted in the Laurier Ballroom of the world renowned Chateau Laurier!

In addition to the educational aspects of the symposium, I always look forward to the familiar faces of the people I re-connect with over the years. It sometimes feels like an amazing four day PAG retreat. What could better!
