Global Family Office Investment Summit, Miami (24th Edition)

4 min readFeb 27, 2025

✨ An Unforgettable Gathering of Visionaries, Leaders & Changemakers ✨

This past week, I had the distinct honour of serving as the Master of Ceremonies and Opening Keynote Speaker at the 24th Global Family Office Investment Summit at the Trump International Beach Resort in Miami. This event truly defines the future of global investment. (Keynote to come in a subsequent article)

Bringing together the world’s most influential family offices, investors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders, this summit was more than just a meeting of minds — it was a blueprint for the future of capital, innovation, and impact.

My travels started off with an averted destiny, as I was on the runway at Toronto International Airport when a Delta plane landed upside down. All flights were canceled, and the only possible way to make it to Miami on time was to drive through the night (through a snowstorm) to Pittsburgh and fly to Miami…It was a mission that required Maximum Effort (post about it here), but after 30 hours of travel, we made it! This is why I am wearing a leather jacket on the first day…I went directly from the airport to the conference!

A Celebration of Ideas, Innovation & Impact

This summit wasn’t just about capital — it was about reshaping the future through strategic investments in technology, sustainability, AI, blockchain, and emerging markets. From fireside chats to high-impact panels, every conversation led to new opportunities, partnerships, and transformational ideas.

A special thank you to Anthony Ritossa, the visionary founder and host of this extraordinary summit, for creating such an impactful global platform for amazing investors, startups, executives, and government officials to discuss sustainable growth, positive impact, philanthropy, security, and sustainability in an intimate environment with like-minded exceptional professionals.

A Personal Highlight: Giving Back Through Knowledge

One of the most rewarding moments for me was gifting 50 signed copies of my new book, 2030: A Blueprint for Humanity’s Exponential Leap, to attendees. It’s my mission to equip leaders with the foresight needed to navigate the exponential changes ahead, and it was an honour to share this work with such an esteemed audience.

Incredible Performances & Exclusive After-Events

The talented Mary Millben delivered breathtaking performances on both days, adding an unforgettable cultural dimension to the summit.

The experience was further amplified by two spectacular after-events:

🏆 LivesAmplified’s high-energy event at Seaspice, Miami

Both provided the perfect setting for deepening relationships and unlocking new investment opportunities.
