Final registration call for the 8th World Chambers Congress

Offering more networking opportunities than ever before to delegates from over 120 countries, the not-to-be missed Congress will feature an informative range of plenary and workshop sessions, an enhanced B2B programme and more than 10,000 square metres of exhibition space.

Held every two years, the Congress has a proven track record to share, learn and build networks opportunities for chamber and their business leaders. A quality range of internationally-renowned experts and business leaders will bring delegates up-to-date on the latest business issues.

One Congress plenary session, “A world in crisis”, will consider how business can adapt to meet the challenges of crises affecting the world today. The session will be led by Joost
Hiltermann, Chief Operations Officer for the International Crisis Group, along with Alexander Likhotal, President of Green Cross International, Datuk Seri Mohamed Iqbal Rawther, Chairman of the UN ESCAP Business Advisory Council, and Alan Leibman, CEO, Kerzner International.

Leading experts in non-profit operations will contribute to the Congress’ education component. Greg Melia, Chief Membership and Volunteer Relations Officer at the Center for Association Leadership, will lead a session on membership and Vernetta Walker, Vice-President at BoardSource, will lead a session on how organizations can prepare and plan for leadership succession.

The 2013 World Chambers Competition finals are also set to showcase the innovative projects that chambers are implementing worldwide in their efforts to remain relevant and dependable for small- and medium-sized enterprises.

Atiq Juma Nasib, Senior Director, Commercial Services Sector, Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said: “The Dubai Chamber sees this Congress as a unique platform to reach out to representatives of global chambers. The event fits perfectly within our strategy of connecting to leaders in the world of trade and commerce.”
