Event Description

Join this event with an all-star cast of senior business leaders to get the inside story on how the Vietnam Business Forum (VBF) works, what happened at the 2019 VBF held in Hanoi on January 10, and how we can strengthen VBF’s effectiveness in advocating for a better business climate in Vietnam.

The VBF is an ongoing public-private policy dialogue channel between the Government of Vietnam and the business community, foreign and domestic, aimed at improving the business climate in Vietnam.  As a founding member of VBF, AmCham participates throughout the year to represent the concerns of our member companies, both through our AmCham VBF representative and active participation by AmCham business leaders in many of its working groups.  Join us for an interactive panel discussion to gain insights on the business policy outlook for Vietnam in 2020.
