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!

I have had the opportunity to attend 2 CAFE National Symposiums – Toronto and Halifax.  Participation at these events elevates the benefits CAFE membership to a whole new level.  There are opportunities to network, learn how other families have dealt with situations that develop in the family enterprise, training opportunities, world class speakers, and wonderful local entertainment and sightseeing.  Sometimes the events will trigger conversations that your family has never had before and new level of understanding and focus is achieved.  I look forward to meeting you in Regina .
