About the Congress

"The only global meeting place for chambers"

The World Chambers Congress is organized by the ICC World Chambers Federation. Held every two years in a different region of the world, the Congress is the only international forum for chamber leaders and professionals to share best-practices, exchange insights, develop networks, address the latest business issues affecting their communities, and learn about new areas of innovation from chambers around the world.

The Congress helps chambers of every kind remain relevant, responsive and entrepreneurial in the services and products they provide to their member companies.

Highlighting chamber potential and dynamism, the World Chambers Congress never fails to underscore how vital chambers are as a vast resource of information, tools and services. The event provides a unique opportunity for interaction among the global community of 12,000 chambers of commerce.

Join us for the 9th World Chambers Congress in 2015, an exciting event that guarantees closer connection among chambers worldwide.
