Events | 9 October 2026
The 21st National Family Business Conference, entitled “Ready to innovate: values, strategies and continuity in Family Businesses”, took place from the 1st to the 3rd of October 2026.
Organized by AIDAF – Italian Family Business in Palermo, at Palazzo dei Normanni, it is one of the most important events dedicated to Italy’s business community. It provides an opportunity to discuss the key issues facing family businesses and brings together participants from all generations.
Three days dedicated to official meetings, visits and cultural activities were attended by Matteo Gianesini and Fabio Gianesini, both representing the fourth generation of the family business. The central theme of the event was “Innovation as a driver of continuity: innovating without compromising values, growing without losing identity.” For Gianesini Erminio too, flexibility and innovation are fundamental elements that enable the company to adapt to new challenges and opportunities in its national and international transport operations.
The conference also addressed some of the most pressing issues facing family businesses, including corporate governance, the NextGen and intergenerational dialogue, as well as the role of artificial intelligence in relation to business tradition.
AIDAF currently has 324 member family businesses, making it an important point of reference for Italian entrepreneurial families. The association was established to promote a culture of family entrepreneurship promoting an ethical business culture. Gianesini officially joined the association in 2025. Membership has created valuable opportunities to address shared challenges, such as generational changeover, create new synergies and partnerships, pursue sustainable business growth in the transport sector, and play an active role in developing the local business landscape.
