In September 2026, the Private Clients FORUM took place in Frankfurt for the sixth time — booked out to the last seat. Dr. Maren Gräfe chaired the conference together with Dr. Karin Ebel over two intensive days featuring more than 20 speakers.

The topics reflected what is currently on the minds of entrepreneurial families and family offices: privacy and cybersecurity, the international structuring of wealth, family and corporate governance, intelligent automation in wealth reporting, and succession and wills. Stefanie Wagner and Martina Weber showed, with practical examples, why a will alone is often not enough. Ellen Ashauer-Moll and Dr. Maren Gräfe examined how automation can make complex, structured assets more tax-secure.

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung accompanied the event as a cooperation partner with its own special publication.
