Programme & Speakers
Theme and topics
Much more than just a gathering for chambers, the Congress addresses some of the most significant global issues of our time. In convening the world’s most prominent leaders and brightest minds, we aim to help transform the future of business.
More than ever convinced that international trade is key to achieving peaceful cooperation among nations, we designed the programme of our 13th World Chambers Congress around the theme: “Achieving peace and prosperity through multilateralism”.
This central question will be approached through the lens of trade, innovation, sustainability, diversity and peace.
