One of the world’s biggest business events will come to Melbourne next year, reinforcing the city’s reputation as a hub for global commerce.
Dubbed the ‘Business Olympics’, the World Chambers Congress will take place from 2 to 4 September 2025 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The event will spotlight Victorian business on the global stage as 2,000 business leaders, international trade delegations, and local representatives converge in Melbourne. The Congress serves as a platform to exchange ideas and best practices in global chamber and business activities, while opening doors to new trade, investment, and partnership opportunities for Victoria.
Minister for Major Events Steve Dimopoulos today joined ICC Secretary General John W.H. Denton, Victorian Chamber CEO Paul Guerra, and Melbourne Convention Bureau CEO Julia Swanson to announce a partnership to host the 14th World Chambers Congress in Melbourne.
Melbourne secured the rights to host the Congress in December 2022, highlighting its position as a top destination for major business events. These gatherings are vital for driving economic growth, building global networks, and showcasing innovation.
Dimopoulos said, “The World Chambers Congress is shaping up to be the global business event of 2025 and we look forward to welcoming world leaders from the business, chamber and political spheres to Melbourne.
“Victoria is a world leader in business, trade and investment—this event is a chance to highlight the exceptional business opportunities our state has to offer.”
John W.H. Denton AO, added, “Having spent a large proportion of my career in Melbourne, I know how much its business community punches above its weight and the incredible opportunities for investment and trade that exist here.”
