Part 2: The Relationship Capital Kickoff Conference
Friday, November 14th
8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Columbia Tower Club (701 Fifth Avenue, 76th Floor | Seattle, WA)
We convene in Seattle’s tallest building for the official launch of Relationship Capital — a new organization dedicated to reimagining how families, advisors, and enterprises build trust, navigate change, and invest in relationship with resilience.
Hosted inside Seattle’s iconic Columbia Tower Club, this high-altitude gathering blends intelligence, insight, and intimacy. Expect a day that feels less like a conference and more like a guided discovery — equal parts strategy session, family paradigm shifts, and relational engineering.
Agenda:
8:00 – 8:30 AM: Welcome Coffee & Networking — Step into panoramic views and meet fellow visionaries.
8:30 – 9:00 AM Opening Remarks: What Is Relationship Capital? — Founder Savannah Suttle introduces a new era in family enterprise — where corporate and fiscal resilience is tied back to square one.
9:00 – 9:45 AM The Case for Experiential Design in Family Enterprises — "The only time the family connects is over crisis and conflict!" Or "Every family conference is the same old boring stuff." .... Sound familiar? In this session, we talk about how play, story, and immersive design can unlock growth and resolve friction, in both households and boardrooms. Whether you're a family member or advisor, learn how to cultivate paradigm shifts that feel like FUN instead of dysfunctional.
10:00 – 11:30 AM Family Dynamics 101 — A crash course in understanding generational patterns, communication blocks, and hidden roles that shape success.
11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Networking Lunch: Lunch provided.
** 12:30 – 1:45 PM Family Offices 101** — A masterclass on the architecture of multi-generational wealth. Learn how and why family offices are built, and how relationship dynamics shape the architecture and flow of wealth. Learn the considerations each family faces in designing for the future. Learn about the ways successful family offices leverage structure, values, purpose, and power to safeguard peace and ensure lasting impact.
** NOTE: For those desiring to work more effectively with family offices, this course is essential. Industry veterans included.
1:45 – 3:00 PM Dynamic Mapping Workshop — Learn practical, visual techniques to stop circular conversations and bring clarity to family systems.
3:00 – 3:30 PM Conversational Best Practices — Closing reflections on how to talk about what truly matters — even when it’s hard.

THE NIGHT THE CITY REMEMBERS
Ladies and gentlemen, founders and dreamers, heirs and mischief-makers —
This is it!
The night when the lights go low, the laughter goes high,
and the idea of “legacy” stops being polite and starts being alive.
Welcome to The Speakeasy Soirée — the flagship celebration of Relationship Capital,
where the dress code is black tie, the conversation is fearless,
and the only thing off-limits is being fake.
This isn’t a gala. It’s a sociological experiment in sequins.
It’s an evening for people who build empires, break patterns,
and understand that connection — real, electric, unfiltered connection —
is the ultimate inheritance.
THE RUN OF THE NIGHT
• 6:30 PM The Doors Open.
• 7:00 PM — MYSTERY prefers the punctual. Be here.
• 7:45 PM The Show Begins.
• 8:45 PM Golden Tickets.
• 9:00 PM Enter the Playground.
• 10:15 PM The Last Toast.
Food: Drinks, apps & hors d’oeuvres provided.
Dress Code: Black tie, ballgowns, but make it human. Think confidence, not conformity. Fabulous or bust.
FAQs
Where should I stay?
Option 1: Group Airbnbs — Join a curated house of fellow guests. Savannah will match personalities for maximum chemistry (non-romantic, promise). RSVP by Oct 24 to be matched.
Option 2: Hotel Block — Reserved rooms available downtown (details shared upon RSVP).
Do I need to attend every single events?
Nope! Attend what you can! Just PLEASE RSVP so Savannah can get a headcount!
Also — weekend stuff is totally optional; We’ll just be having fun, hanging out around Seattle, because that’s what awesome community does — we hang out together!
Can I bring a plus one?
Maybe! Ask Savannah for approval — it depends on the person (relevance/personality fit), available capacity, and your own credibility. You’re responsible for any guests. If they get kicked out, so do you.
Why would someone get kicked out of an event?
They’re pitching (this is a zero pitching zone, all weekend)
They are inappropriate, sexist, racist, assinine, uncouth, derogatory, demeaning, or otherwise socially/emotionally boorish/underdevelloped. We expect mental/emotional gymnasts here. Be competent or don’t come.
All the other reasons you’d expect.
What should I pack?
Glamour, curiosity, and comfortable shoes. Also, prep for cold weather.
Weekend Plans:
Saturday: Pike Place Market + Chihuly Garden + Dinner Parties
Sunday: Hiking adventure (weather permitting), likely to be either Discovery Park, North Bend, or Deception Pass.
Monday: Innovation Event (AI, Cybersecurity, LATAM Nearshoring), custom arranged meetings for those who ask.
