The Government today announced the speaker lineup for the second edition of the Wealth for Good in Hong Kong Summit slated for March 27.

The summit, co-organised by the Financial Services & the Treasury Bureau and Invest Hong Kong, with the theme “Growing with Certainty Amid Growing Uncertainty”, will bring together world-renowned speakers relevant to the global family office industry to Hong Kong.

The meeting will enable speakers to discuss ways to forge ahead amid external economic challenges and drive global family offices to set up in Hong Kong for continuous development.

Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Christopher Hui said: “I eagerly look forward to exchanging views with the speakers and family office decision makers from around the world at the event.

“Through the summit, we also aim to continue promoting Hong Kong as a prime destination for global family offices and asset owners to set up and expand their businesses.”

The summit will centre around four key topics including Luxury & Legacy, Green Technology, Philanthropy & Wealth Legacy, and a session on family office development titled “Dream to Dynasty: Wealth Creation for Generations”.

Such themes are crucial to the development of the global family office industry, and through the event, the Government hopes to promote investments for social progress by global wealth owners. At the same time, the summit will demonstrate how to make good use of Hong Kong's strategic location and unique advantages for global investors to explore new opportunities amid global economic uncertainty.

WndrCo Founding Partner, Walt Disney Studios former Chairman and DreamWorks Animation Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Katzenberg, will participate in a fireside chat at the summit. The chat, titled “Journey from Hollywood to Silicon Valley”, will be moderated by Blue Pool Capital Chief Executive Officer Oliver Weisberg.

Chief Executive Officer and former Miami Heat guard with an NBA Hall of Fame induction Dwyane Wade will participate in another fireside chat on “Rise of Sports as an Asset Class” moderated by racing driver, Head of Private Office, Knight Frank Greater China Ho-pin Tung.

The summit is the flagship event during the Financial Mega Event Week.

Participants from Hong Kong, the Mainland, Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and beyond are set to join the event to exchange their insights in Hong Kong.
