Marseille and the name "Premiere"
On this occasion, Marseille had the opportunity to welcome representatives from foreign countries and nations on a scale never seen before in the city’s history. The Congress was named “Premiere” in recognition of the fact that the first chamber in the world was created in Marseille and because this Congress ushered in the third millennium.
400 years of networking
Chambers around the world have been “networking” for the past 400 years, though they may not have recognized it. This Congress marked their determination to create a real network, one that provides an innovative tool and creates a system of interdependence, vital in the information age.
