Wealth & Family Office Forum - Davos edition 2026 powered by Basel Investor Forum








Creating consciousness in the global investment landscape and rebuilding trust in times of uncertainty.
In a world defined by volatility, shifting power centers, and technological acceleration, conscious leadership in investment is no longer optional — it’s essential.
The Wealth & Family Office Forum - Davos Edition 2026 is dedicated to creating consciousness in the global investment landscape and rebuilding trust in times of uncertainty. Here, capital meets consciousness — not as opposing forces, but as partners in shaping a more resilient and equitable future.
Our goal for Davos 2026 is clear: to rebuild trust, realign purpose, and reshape the future of global investment — one meaningful connection, one inspired dialogue, and one visionary collaboration at a time. Together, we explore how values-driven investment can unlock sustainable growth, resilience, and long-term impact.
Join the conversation where the world’s most visionary investors converge — to shape not just portfolios, but the future together.
