DC Finance’s Global Family Office & High Net Worth Community

DC Finance’s Global Family Office and High Net Worth Individual Community builds and connects an international network of high net worth individuals, family offices, and investors through exclusive, first-tier family office conferences and private events held worldwide. The community supports long-term relationships, knowledge exchange, and collaboration among senior decision-makers.

Founded in 2003, DC Finance is today one of the world’s largest organizers of family office and high net worth conferences, hosting more than 20 events annually across 19 global destinations. These include New York, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, Miami, Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Tel Aviv, London, the UAE, Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

With a current community of more than 6,000 families worldwide, DC Finance represents a combined investing power of approximately USD 1.2 trillion.

DC Finance is more than a conference organizer. It is a true family office community built on trust, long-term relationships, and repeated engagement across markets and generations.

DC Finance invites a carefully selected group of partners, families, and executives to participate in its conferences and private initiatives. Each attendee and representative is personally invited and vetted to ensure relevance, discretion, and meaningful engagement.

Speakers at DC Finance events include some of the world’s most respected families, institutional leaders, organizations, and entrepreneurs. Past speakers have represented the SEC, the Federal Reserve, city mayors, and U.S. Senate members, as well as founders of companies such as Ethereum, Waze, and LinkedIn.

Past speakers have also included members of prominent families such as Silverstein, Desmarais, Brenninkmeijer, Spielberg, Arison, Hunt, Sawiris, Du Pont, Musk, Perdue, Mars, Rockefeller, and Firestone, among others.

While service providers may attend DC Finance conferences, participation is strictly limited to maintain the integrity of the community and the quality of interactions.

In 2023, DC Finance launched The Family Office Circle, a private, family-only membership club chaired by Ms. Lisa Silverstein, CEO of Silverstein Properties, owners of The World Trade Center. The Family Office Circle is an intimate, closed community where prominent North American families act as hosts, welcoming members into private homes and family settings for exclusive gatherings held ahead of major conferences. Membership reflects a high level of due diligence, trust, and peer validation within the global family office community.

Further strengthening its global leadership, DC Finance was selected by iHeartRadio, the world’s largest podcast publisher, as a partner for the world’s first and largest family office podcast series. This partnership reinforces DC Finance’s role as a leading platform for dialogue, insight, and thought leadership within the global family office ecosystem.
