CHICAGO, June 18, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Family Office Exchange (FOX), a global membership organization of single family offices and their advisors, announced that they would present the findings of their new technology survey at the 2013 FOX Financial Executives Forum, July 17-18 in Chicago.

The forum is an annual event highlighting best practices and critical updates for family office executives. This year's agenda highlights issues related to technology, security and tax planning. FOX Senior Consultant Jane Flanagan will kick off the event with a presentation of the findings from the 2013 FOX Technology Survey.

"The study offers a much-needed look at current technology practices in the family office," says Flanagan. "From the use of cloud technology to the latest systems security practices and technology spending, this study is designed to provide attendees with the peer data they need to benchmark their current operations."

Oakbrook Solutions President Craig Cook and RockIT President Mark Rogozinski will follow the presentation with a discussion of how key technology trends and innovation impact family offices.

Other sessions include:

  • A panel discussion on information security issues featuring AIG Property and Casualty Lead CyberEdge Specialist Christopher Liu, TriState Capital Bank President Chuck Fawcett, and personal security expert Tom Kasza of Hillard Heintze.

The agenda for the forum is set by FOX's Financial Executive Council, a talented peer group of CFOs, controllers and tax managers who are dedicated to sharing best practices related to family office operations, compliance, and technical issues.

"The greatest value from this event comes from family office financial executives getting a chance to meet with their peers and share ideas," says FOX Relationship Manager Jo Wellman.
