Future of Chambers
Visit the
ACCE Microsite on the Horizon Initiative: Chambers 2025 to learn how chambers can adapt and evolve over the next decade, and how will they ensure that their best days are yet to come. In 2014, ACCE launched the Horizon Initiative Task Force to tap into collective chamber wisdom and other resources. 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. This Chamberpedia page collects more chamber examples and resources.
