The 32nd Global Family Office Investment Summit hosted by Anthony Ritossa concluded on June 25, 2026, at the Sheraton Hotel & Spa in Lake Como in Northern Italy, closing a gathering that drew more than 300 investors, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders from across the Middle East, Europe, the United States, Asia, and Africa.
A welcome reception on June 23 opened the edition, followed by two full days of programming that brought together family offices, sovereign wealth representatives, and frontier entrepreneurs in the same room for conversations on capital, governance, and the next decade of long-term wealth strategy. Held under the patronage of Sheikha Jawaher Al Khalifa of the Kingdom of Bahrain and the UAE, the Italian edition extended the series’ focus on cross-continental capital, generational wealth, and long-term relationship-building.
Among the speakers who took the stage was Victoria Kennedy, CEO of Victorious PR and an award-winning international classical crossover singer, who opened the summit with a beautiful Italian aria before the assembled delegates and later joined the Philanthropy, Impact, and Socially Responsible Investment Opportunities panel on day two.
Inside the Philanthropy, Impact, and Socially Responsible Investment Opportunities Panel
The panel, moderated by Carmelo Caggia, former CNBC Italy anchor and founder and CEO of Creative Solutions, examined how families are approaching the growing space of impact and socially responsible investing. The conversation brought together Tan Egeli of Egeli Single Family Office, Viktoriia Vasylchenko of Share To Care World, Weronika Michaluk of retreeats, Pete Henderson of E2G FOOD, and Stephen McGuire of Mór Global Holdings, drawing on a range of industries and geographies to examine where philanthropic and impact capital is being deployed and how families can evaluate those opportunities with greater rigor.
Victoria contributed from a public relations and media visibility perspective, drawing on her work at Victorious PR, where she advises founders and executives on earning press coverage as a compounding asset rather than a one-off placement.
Her focus on the panel centered on how projects in the impact and philanthropic space can gain press exposure and build credibility, the red flags to watch for when selecting projects, and the role media positioning plays in bringing meaningful capital to purpose-driven initiatives. For family offices looking to back socially responsible ventures, she argued that a project’s ability to communicate its mission clearly to the press often indicates the operational clarity that makes it worth backing.
Ritossa has built the summit series across multiple continents over the past decade, and the 32nd edition reflected its standing as one of the more established forums on the global family office calendar. The Lake Como edition featured Ferrari chief executive Benedetto Vigna in an exclusive fireside chat moderated by Summit Chairman Hadi Al Alawi, who brought two Ferraris to the venue so delegates could photograph the marque’s newest models up close, turning the session into one of the edition’s most memorable moments.
Programming across both days also included keynotes from Sheeraz Hasan of Hollywood.AI and Bollywood.AI, as well as a Grand Finale Keynote Panel where leading international family offices shared their proprietary investment ideas ahead of the Family Office Lifetime Achievement Awards.
Speaking Work Beyond the Lake Como Summit
Victoria’s appearance in Lake Como is part of a broader speaking portfolio that includes the TEDx stage and the 2026 Davos Communications Summit and Awards in Switzerland, hosted by the World Communications Forum Association.
Her industry engagement includes serving as Master of Ceremonies and host of the Blockchain Expo in Santa Clarita, and as a moderator and speaker at the Summit of Europe in Lake Como, as well as at previous editions of the Ritossa-led Global Family Office Investment Summit series. Across those platforms, Victoria has consistently brought a communications-industry perspective to rooms dominated by capital allocators, making the case that media visibility and investment credibility are more closely linked than many founders appreciate.
Across these forums, her focus has remained on communications strategy and the role of visibility in how founders and executives position themselves within competitive markets. Her appearances combine panel work with thought leadership on how founders use earned media to build credibility, with press coverage framed as a compounding asset rather than a one-off placement.
A Standing Invitation Across the Ritossa Series
Across her appearances on the Ritossa stage, Victoria has built a longstanding relationship with the summit series. The series continues with the 33rd edition in Miami this October, followed by the Dubai summit at the Mandarin Oriental, Jumeirah Beach, on December 2 to 3, 2026.
For Victoria, the continued invitations reinforce her role within conversations surrounding communications, executive visibility, and influence at the highest levels of business and investment. Her participation reflects the summit’s emphasis on leaders operating at the intersection of communications, investment, and executive visibility.
