The countdown is on! The 14th World Chambers Congress – to be hosted in Melbourne in 2025 for the first time – is officially one year away.
The International Chamber of Commerce and Industry World Chambers Federation (ICC WCF) announced in December 2022 the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) as the successful bidder to host the 14WCC following a competitive bidding process which was supported by the Melbourne Convention Bureau (MCB).
The theme, ‘Business, chambers, government: Partners for prosperity’ highlights the tripartite approach to propel our economies forward – bringing together representatives from these three powerful groups from more than 100 countries.
The Victorian Chamber of Commerce is proudly bringing global business and political leaders together to tackle issues like energy, sustainability, diversity and inclusion, cyber security, artificial intelligence, trade and export and geopolitical relations.
It’s an opportunity to rub shoulders with global power brokers and unlock unprecedented opportunities in what has been dubbed the ‘Business Olympics’.
The event will be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 2 to 4 September 2025.
The Victorian Chamber will soon release sponsorship and exhibitor packages, so businesses can leverage this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase their business to the world.
