Central Ohio’s Only Awards Program Celebrating Family Businesses
On Wednesday November 15, 2023, we gathered at the Hilton Easton in Columbus to celebrate the accomplishments of Central Ohio family businesses at the 25th Annual Family Business Awards & Expo. This year also marks the Conway Center's 25th anniversary of providing education and resources to family-owned businesses. We appreciate all who came together to help us celebrate the outstanding family-owned businesses who were honored, and we appreciate your support of the Conway Center.
Our sold-out Expo kicked off the day with a wide variety of family business and service provider members showcasing their business, products, and services.

The Awards luncheon honored recipients in categories consistent with the success and longevity of a family business: leadership, planning, communication, support, and community service.
