The 6th World Chambers Congress (WCC) will be held in Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia, on June 3 -5, 2009. Organized by the International Chambers of Commerce’s World Chambers Federation(WCR) and the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers, this 6th biennial congress will atract companies and industries from at least 100 countries.
This international forum is open to over 12,000 chambers of commerce from across the globe. It is designed to bring together chamber and business leaders to “get to know international peers and share experience and best practice on grassroots issues that have a direct impact on the chamber of commerce community.”
Conferences and exhibitions such as this are becoming vitally important to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia hotels, restaurants, and other businesses that rely on tourists and business travelers. With the state of the world economy slipping, the hospitality and tourism industries have been hard hit.
This year’s WCC will focus on “Leading Sustainable Growth and Change.” Organizers see the Congress as a perfect opportunity for communities to find the tools “to survive and emerge even stronger than before,” according to Mustafa Mansur, President of the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers. Topics will range from the current financial crisis to energy, food, and climate changes.
This is the first time the WCC has been held in Southeast Asia. 1,300 participants are expected to attend the June event.
