Leadership. It's different when it's family. takes place on Thursday 19th November 2026, 9.30am–2.00pm, at The Dunadry Hotel, Co Antrim.

The event explores what leadership looks like across generations, through periods of change, and within the family business context. Confirmed speakers include:

• Professor Maura McAdam — women, leadership and changing expectations
• McKeever Hotels — leading across generations
• Vincent Cleary of Glenisk — leadership lessons from one of Ireland's best-known family businesses

• Susan Hayes Culleton — preparing your family business for what comes next

There will also be dedicated sessions on sibling leadership and leading through crisis.

As a firm that works closely with family businesses across Northern Ireland, we know how different and how personal leadership can be when it's family at the table. Spaces for events like this tend to fill quickly, so we would encourage any family business leaders, or those preparing to step into leadership, to book their place now.
