The 5th Annual

UHNW Institute Symposium

The Firm of the Future: Living in the Real World – The Toolkit in Action

November 17-18, 2025 | Midtown, NYC

Join us in New York City—or virtually—on November 17–18 for the 2025 UHNW Institute Symposium, where the future of UHNW advisory comes into focus.

Throughout the year we have introduced powerful new frameworks and tools; now, you’ll see them in action. Through interactive sessions and real-world case studies, you’ll discover their practical application and how advisors and firms are implementing these Institute resources to deliver measurable impact for UHNW families.

The Symposium will also feature select sessions for members of our new Single-Family Office Circle, plus an enhanced training program and exclusive networking with leaders shaping the future of wealth management.

Whether you attend in person or virtually, the 2025 Symposium offers members an inside look at how the industry’s most innovative tools are actively moving UHNW advisory forward.
