For nearly ten years, Anthony Ritossa has been a driving force behind the Global Family Office Investment Summit, a platform that unites international investors, visionary entrepreneurs, and prominent business families from across the world. What started as a passion project has blossomed into a thriving global community rooted in authenticity, resilience, and the power of genuine connection. Over the years, this initiative has funded groundbreaking projects, sparked lifelong friendships, and provided a stage for bold ideas to flourish.
Now, as the 25th Anniversary Edition approaches on May 6 and 7, 2025, at the luxurious Mandarin Oriental Jumeira in Dubai, Anthony Ritossa, Founder & Chairman of the Summit Series, reflects on the journey with pride. “This is our most impactful and significant gathering yet,” he says, emphasizing the summit’s evolution into a cornerstone of global economic discourse.
Hosted alongside Mohamed Al Ali, CEO of Al Ali Holdings, and in collaboration with Dr. Steven V. Melnik, Chairman of Lives Amplified Global Institution of World Leaders, the event will draw 300+ industry professionals to Dubai. This milestone edition builds on a legacy of fostering innovation and strengthening international ties, a mission that has never been more relevant.
From Miami to Dubai: A Sister City Synergy
The 24th Summit, held in Miami, set the stage for this historic Dubai gathering by showcasing the city’s transformation from a sun-soaked paradise into a beacon of innovation and economic opportunity. At the heart of that event was a fireside chat celebrating the Miami-Dubai Sister City Agreement, a landmark pact signed by Mayor Suarez and Dubai’s Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. This agreement marked a turning point, symbolizing a shared commitment to progress and collaboration between two global powerhouses.
The momentum from Miami now propels the 25th Summit forward, with Dubai serving as the perfect venue to deepen these ties. The Dubai edition promises to amplify this narrative, blending Anthony Ritossa’s signature exclusivity with a forward-thinking agenda that reflects the needs of today’s interconnected world.
Collaboration with Lives Amplified
By hosting this event in collaboration with Dr. Steven Melnik and Lives Amplified, the Summit gains an additional layer of influence, bringing together Melnik’s Global Community of World Leaders to inspire new ideas and forge meaningful connections. This synergy ensures that the 25th Summit will not only celebrate past achievements but also set the stage for transformative impact on a global scale.
