The Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) is thrilled to announce the opening of registrations for the 14th World Chambers Congress (14WCC), set to take place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) from 2 to 4 September 2025.
Dubbed the ‘Business Olympics’, the 14WCC is co-organised by the World Chambers Federation (WCF) of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and VCCI. This prestigious event will bring together more than 2000 global leaders from business, chambers, government and industry across more than 100 countries. Themed ‘Business, chambers, government: Partners for prosperity’, the 14WCC will address shared global challenges, such as skills shortages, housing crises, energy transition, artificial intelligence, equality, geopolitical relations and cyber security.
Registrants can look forward to keynote presentations from global business identities, panel discussions, interactive workshops and networking opportunities with some of the world's leading business, government and chamber leaders.
The Congress will also showcase Melbourne’s position as a global leader in bringing business, government and advocacy leaders together and will give Victoria a perfect opportunity to showcase the possibilities for trade and investment here.
The WCC is held every second year at a different global location, this is the first time it will be hosted in Melbourne, after Sydney successfully hosted 10WCC in 2017.
With super saver early bird pricing to the three-day congress available until 28 February 2025, now is the time to secure your place at this transformative event.
