Description

Social, Dinner & Roundtable Discussion
September 9, 2026 | Ruthie's Steak & Seafood, Davenport, Iowa
Join fellow next-generation family business members for an evening of networking, dinner, and honest conversation about the unique experience of growing up in a family business.
Whether you're actively involved in the business today, exploring your future role, or simply learning what ownership and leadership could mean for your family, this event offers a welcoming environment to connect with peers who understand the opportunities and challenges that come with being part of a family enterprise.
Agenda
5:30 PM | Social & Networking Reception
Hosted by the Kehl Family | Elite Casino & Resorts
Meet and connect with fellow next-generation family members and family business leaders from across the Quad Cities region.
6:00 PM | Dinner & Roundtable Discussion
Facilitated by Dr. Heidi Vermeer-Quist
"Growing Up Next Generation"
Growing Up Next Generation: Shared Experiences
Growing up in a family business is a unique experience. Long before you have a title, a role, or a seat at the table, you're already part of the story.
Along with that comes opportunity, but also expectations, family dynamics, questions about where you fit, and the challenge of building your own identity and leadership path.
This casual roundtable creates space for family business members to connect, share experiences, and talk candidly about what it really means to grow up in, and eventually help lead, a family enterprise. Participants representing different ages, stages, and perspectives will contribute to an engaging and authentic discussion.
This isn't about having all the answers. It's about learning from others who understand the unique experience of Growing Up Next Generation.
