The event was invite only and an exclusive handpicked community by an events committee. For the first time in Abu Dhabi 
hosted an event specifically just for Family Offices and Family Groups, where 70% of the stage presence were controlled 
by family principals or family office investment teams. 
The ADFO Summit held notable speakers from Family Offices like, Al Nowais Group, Dawood Group, Al Serkal Group, Von 
Siemens Trust, Kcap Holding, SS Lootah Group, Apeiron Investment Group - large institutions like Franklin Templeton, SC 
Lowy and many more. 
Wealthy families from around the world have recognised the UAE's appeal as a destination for their offices stemming 
from its combination of tax advantages, strategic location, robust financial services sector, and high-quality 
lifestyle amenities. 
The UAE is increasingly becoming a hub for family offices, with some of the world's big names setting up offices in the 
country to tap the market, which is set to reach Dh3.67 trillion in the next few years. American billionaire investor 
and hedge fund manager Ray Dalio is among the latest high-profile investors to announce a plan to set up a branch of 
his office in the UAE capital. 
See below some of the quotes from Family Office Principal's who attended and ADFO Summit event partners. 
Bjoern Von Siemens, Family Principal Von Siemens Trust: 
"Excellent Organization and high quality content. Thank you ADFO Summit and Obediah Ayton". 
Mohammed Husary, Family Principal Husary Holdings: 
"Thanks for organizing such a great and rewarding event, it was a pleasure to speak about the importance of longevity 
and wellbeing through our portfolio company VIWELL". 
Obediah Ayton, Director Dhabi Hold Co, ADFO Summit Event Committee: 
"I realized after years of attending events, the format needs to be changed, the post event content needs to be better 
for speakers and the ratio of investors needs to be better for event partners. Too many events focus on getting "bums 
on seats" rather than quality of people". 
Nick Ayton, ADFO Summit Moderator & Chair on the day: 
"With 70% of the attendees from Family Offices and Family Groups we were able to discuss the real issues and the topics 
that interest them the most - sustainable investing, longevity, private credit markets and asset allocation 
strategies." 
Following a successful event in Abu Dhabi. The ADFO Summit will now launch the DFO Summit in March 2023.
