It was with great pleasure to accept the invitation to speak at the Marcus Evans Elite Summit 2026, 18–20 November, which will take place at The Fairmont Le Montreux Palace in Switzerland; by occasion just around the corner of my habitat.

An invitation to the Elite Summit 2026
The Elite Summit brings together the world’s leading family office investors and visionary investment solution providers in an intimate, high-calibre setting at the iconic Fairmont Le Montreux Palace in Switzerland. Unlike large-scale conferences, this is a focused, invitation-only forum designed for meaningful dialogue, strategic connections, and exclusive networking. With 40 years of experience producing premium business events, Marcus Evans delivers an unmatched level of quality, curation, and business intelligence that participants simply cannot access elsewhere.
At the Elite Summit, you will experience a dynamic programme featuring visionary keynote presentations, real-life case studies and interactive forums delivered by compelling speakers and expert moderators.
The themes shaping private wealth
The Elite Summit 2026 covers the most critical themes shaping private wealth management in Europe and globally, including portfolio diversification through private equity and alternative assets, navigating inflation and geopolitical risk, succession planning and family governance, digital transformation and cybersecurity for family offices, ESG and impact investing, and next-generation wealth strategies. The program is designed to deliver actionable intelligence and peer-driven insights for long-term wealth preservation and growth.
My perspective: preparing for the extreme
In my presentation I will take the extreme scenario as a perspective how to operate. This as a mirror to reflect. Issues that will be addressed are:
- A mirror of where you and your family may currently stand on the spectrum of disaster
- How liabilities needed to be identified and shielded
- How to balance collective versus individual needs, with the human factor first and foremost
- The so-called Ekklesia (Εκκλησία) approach to moving forward
- Why Zero-Hour Preparation is always preferable — and, most importantly, how to prepare for it
