Conferences

The Annual Gathering

First Thursday - Sunday in August

The Gathering can be a life changing experience. You’ll work with nationally and internationally recognized professionals, whose life's work is helping families in business grow and prosper.

Each day of The Gathering includes approximately four hours of seminars and workshops, all designed to encourage participant involvement and maximum exchange of ideas. Some sessions are general for all participants. Others are unique to the needs and interests of particular groups.

You will select the sessions you think will be most valuable to you. We provide a range of workshop topics designed to fit the specific interests of the people attending and then offer programs that fit those interests. You and others attending design The Gathering to fit your needs.

The Gathering has a definite informal tone and is designed so that attendees can take full advantage of the program, as well as enjoy the summertime beauty and wide range of attractions found in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley. The activities range from the Aspen Music Festival, hiking, biking, fly fishing, rafting, horseback riding and hot air ballooning, to all the other things that make Aspen a highly-desirable destination resort.

There is nothing quite like The Aspen Family Business Gathering. We are proud to offer an interesting and fun learning environment, in which you and your family can learn and grow together.

The Aspen Family Business Group—Leslie Dashew, Sam H. Lane, Ph.D., Darrell Beck, Ph.D., CMC, Bill Roberts CLU, ChFC and Joe Paul—for the last 20 years has served as a resource to help families create an environment in which members are open and willing to learn and grow. It is in such a setting that families are able to envision and achieve the positive possibilities of their business as well as maximize enjoyment of their family life. Our goal is for the family to develop harmonious, healthy, constructive interpersonal relationships and to maximize the success of their family-owned enterprise.
