Call for Program Contributors

Speak Aboard the Inaugural Voyage.

A working room of family offices and UHNW principals, four days in the Rhine delta. Apply to lead a workshop, roundtable, or fireside session.

The Opportunity

A private voyage where you inspire leaders.

This isn't a conference — it's a curated gathering of 50+ family office principals, investors, and operators committed to legacy, innovation, and impact. As a speaker, you won't just take the stage. You'll lead the conversation.

Why Speak Here

A room where ideas are tested.

No conference hall, no back-to-back panels. A confirmed audience of family offices and UHNW principals, four days aboard, working sessions instead of keynotes.

01
A Confirmed, Qualified Room
Every seat is reviewed by invitation: the audience is family offices and UHNW principals, not a general-admission crowd.
02
Four Days, Not Forty Minutes
You are aboard for the full voyage (meals, roundtables, and the Forum sessions), not flown in for a single slot.
03
The Rhine Delta as the Room
Sessions run in the two-storey Forum as the ship works the Rhine delta. The setting is part of the pitch.
Hosted By

The Avestix team on the program.

Every voyage is led by the Avestix team, the same people who advise the families aboard year-round. Confirmed guest speakers join this roster as applications are approved.
