The Conway Center for Family Business provides highly relevant, topical and original programming that helps members learn, stay informed and share experiences with their peers. These family-focused educational programs are unique to the Center and cannot be found anywhere else in Central Ohio.
In addition, we offer enjoyable social interactions that allow members to build strong relationships. We believe that some of the most productive experiences are created in less formal, group settings where relationships can be built, ideas shared and new opportunities hatched.
Just some of these activities include our annual Family Business Awards & Expo, Monthly Educational Programs, numerous group Educational Opportunities, and Networking and Social Events, Please explore our Events Calendar below for topics that will help you solve your family business challenges.

Succession planning and transition planning are two critical yet distinct processes in family business. Succession planning is a comprehensive, strategic process that focuses on identifying, developing, and preparing potential future leaders to take over.
Transition planning, on the other hand, is a more tactical and immediate process that outlines the specific steps, timeline, and mechanics for transferring ownership and management responsibilities from one generation to the next, essentially outlining the ''how'' of the succession process.
Join us as we examine the key components and concerns for each, as well as best practices and pitfalls to avoid when developing a plan to protect and continue your family business legacy.
