Interested in co-hosting this event?
With many chambers expressing interest in hosting the WCF World Chambers Congress, a guide has been developed to help chambers better understand the roles and responsibilities of co-hosting the congress, plus providing some background information into the steps and information to include in your candidacy.
Chambers are encouraged to submit their bid well in advance, as selection of the host chamber and venue is made 3 years prior to the event. This timing has been selected upon the advice of previous Congress hosts, allowing your chamber adequate time to generate local and national support for your bid from chambers, government and companies. Issues, such as the availability of congress venues are also an important decision factor for potential hosts. Read more...
