Included in your FBA membership. This event is for Family Business Members and Advisor Members.
End the year on a high at Celebrate, your end-of-year FBA event! Family businesses, advisors and everyone in the FBA community are invited to enjoy delicious canapés, recognise the year’s achievements and celebrate together.
Close out the year by acknowledging everything you’ve achieved personally and what the family business sector has achieved over the past 12 months. Hear what others in the sector have accomplished, share your own highlights of 2026, and enjoy each other’s company.
The FBA team will kick things off with a short recap of the year, and then it’s over to you to celebrate the evening how you choose. Catch up with old friends, make some new connections and enjoy a night surrounded by the family business community to close out the year.
Join in the celebration and soak up the end-of-year buzz. We'd love to see you there.

The Commodore Hotel
This beautiful venue is one of our very own family business members, Patterson Hospitality.
Thomas and Michael Patterson own and operate The Commodore Hotel, Queenstown Park Hotel, and Hotel Montreal. Their family has a rich history in hospitality that dates back three generations, starting in 1939 with Grandma Nonie Ward, who was a hotel landlady on their mother’s side. On their father’s side, the family operated a city lunch bar known for its excellent food. In 1971, the two sides of the family joined forces to build the Commodore Hotel, which is still thriving today!
Finding Us
