AmCham’s annual visit to Washington for the latest insights and analysis needed to respond to the challenges of today and to prepare for the opportunities of tomorrow.
AmCham members from across the Asia Pacific will gather to interact with the new US Administration, Congressional leaders, policy experts, US Chamber of Commerce, and more on the trade and investment climate that could impact the region.
This is an important opportunity for leaders from Australia to take their place at the policy table. Hearing directly from businesses operating on the ground in the Asia Pacific is an essential ingredient for lawmakers to understand the unintended consequences of trade and investment decisions being made in Washington.
Other AmCham business leaders in the delegation will be drawn from locations as wide ranging as India, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, amongst others.

- Gain a deepeer understanding of the current US political environment as well as the trade and investment climate that could impact the Asia Pacific region.
