Open to Guests & all FEC Members — Join us in Edmonton!

The inaugural Kinnect Edmonton event for Family Enterprise Canada will bring together current family members, Family Enterprise Advisors (FEAs) and prospective family enterprise participants from the Edmonton community for an evening of networking, knowledge sharing and relationship building.

This event is designed to introduce attendees who may be unfamiliar with Family Enterprise Canada to the organization’s programs, resources and community while fostering meaningful connections among family business leaders, professionals and next generation members.

The evening will also feature insights from a local family business, exploring their journey of resilience and reinvention, from their early roots in moonshining to building a modern distillery. Through this story, the panel will spark discussion on how family enterprises can balance honouring tradition with embracing innovation as they evolve their brand, while navigating challenges and sustaining continuity across generations.
