Upcoming Conference in Toronto for Family Offices to Support Pediatric Mental Health

TORONTO, AUGUST 15, 2023 – An exciting event is set to take place on November 2, 2023, at the Carlu in the heart of downtown Toronto, as leading family offices from around the world come together for a prestigious conference aimed at advancing pediatric care and mental health initiatives. The Prime Quadrant Conference, organized with the goal of making a significant impact in these crucial areas, will gather illustrious financial thought leaders and influential speakers to raise money for the SickKids Foundation and Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.

The conference is a unique event that brings together the powerful community of family offices and Ultra-High-Net-Worth (UHNW) investors, renowned for their dedication to philanthropy and making a difference. Attendees can expect unparalleled networking opportunities, engaging keynote presentations and interactive panel discussions designed to foster collaboration and inspire action. 

Last year’s speakers included the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, legendary investor Jeremy Grantham and the founder and Chairman of Vista Equity Partners, Robert Smith. 

Some of this year’s speakers include Paul Ryan, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives; Uri Levine, a best-selling author and co-founder of Waze; Jeff Ubben, who founded ValueAct and Inclusive Capital Partners; and many other legendary investors. 

This year’s proceeds will support Holland Bloorview’s research in brain computer interfaces (BCIs). BCIs translate brain activity into commands that can control technology and the hospital’s goal is to support kids with disabilities and developmental differences to find new ways to meaningfully engage with their world. Holland Bloorview is the first pediatric hospital to use this technology in a clinical setting and Prime Quadrant is excited to continue their partnership with them to support the advancement of research and development in this emerging technology.

Proceeds from the conference will also support the building of a new SickKids which includes the Slaight Family Integrated Mental Health Unit. The number of inpatient beds will increase from 12 to 22, allowing the Hospital to provide holistic care to mental health patients with the most severe disorders in the province.

"We are thrilled to once again bring together the global community of family offices for this important conference," says Mo Lidsky, CEO. “Not only is this one of the more extraordinary opportunities for learning and networking with other affluent families, but we are also so proud that the result of our conference is a brighter future for children who are in desperate need of quality healthcare and mental health support.”

All of Prime Quadrant’s exclusive events convene the family office and private investor community for a noble cause through the Prime Quadrant Foundation. Since its inception, the Foundation has raised millions of dollars for transformative healthcare initiatives. Other events include Lunches with Legends, virtual fireside chats with finance legends, and various intimate roundtable gatherings throughout the year.
