Held every two years, the World Chambers Congress has established an enviable reputation as the place where chamber and business leaders 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.

Organized by ICC's World Chambers Federation (WCF), the World Chambers Congress is the only international forum open to the global community of over 12 000 chambers.

Chamber delegates from at least 100 countries are expected to attend the 6th World Chambers Congress in Kuala Lumpur, which will feature an opening address by the Malaysian Minister of International Trade and Industry.

Delegates come together from as far as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Australia, Ecuador, Mongolia, Nepal, Fiji, Madagascar, Uganda, Algeria, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Ivory Coast, Costa Rica and Cuba.

World Chambers Federation

WCF is a non-political, non-governmental body representing the interests for local, national, regional, bilateral and transnational chambers of commerce and industry.

WCF strengthens links between chambers, enabling them to improve performance as well as discover new products and services to offer their members. Chambers represent companies of all sizes, particularly small- to medium-sized enterprises, the backbone of any true world business organization. WCF promotes and protects the chamber of commerce as an essential intermediary between business and government and between business and the general public.
