Future of Chambers

In 2014, ACCE launched the Horizon Initiative Task Force to tap into collective chamber wisdom. Our goal was not to tell you what chambers would do or be in 2025; we sought instead to identify influences and how they might shape chambers and their regions.

Visit Horizon Initiative: Chambers 2025 to learn how chambers are adapting and evolving and how will they ensure that their best days are yet to come.
