During the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 81)
Where Legacy Capital Meets Global Policy
Held during the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Family Offices for Sustainable Development (FOSD) Summit returns to UN Headquarters for its fourth edition. Hosted by PVBLIC Foundation, this convening brings together Heads of State, UN leadership, Ambassadors, and legacy-driven family offices to explore new ways to collaborate globally.
This marquee event positions FOSD as the premier platform where capital meets policy, and where private leadership helps accelerate systemic transformation aligned with UN priorities.
Today's Choices, Tomorrow's World
2026 marks the UN's 81st anniversary and the ten-year mark since the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals, with five years left to reach the 2030 agenda.

The Summit
An Evening to Close the Day
Following the Summit, the Family Offices for Sustainable Development UNGA Soirée brings the day's conversations into an evening of connection. In 2025, over 600 guests gathered for the private Soirée at Virgin Hotels New York City, bringing together Summit attendees, leaders from the global family office community, and top executives from New York's private sector.
Returning in 2026, this exclusive gathering will once again offer a vibrant close to FOSD's marquee day at UNGA 81, blending legacy, leadership, and community in one evening.
