AmChams in Europe: US week virtual outreach

3 Jun 2020
All Committees
The AmChams in Europe network, which represents 45 AmChams in 43 countries in Europe and wider Europe, travels every year to Washington, DC to meet with high-level US stakeholders.
 
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the annual conference took place virtually this year from Monday, 11 May until Wednesday, 27 May. 
 
Executives from over 30 AmChams gathered together to meet with:
  • The National Economic Council
  • The US Chamber of Commerce
  • Fox Radio News
  • The US Department of State
  • The Atlantic Council
  • The US Department of Commerce
The topics of discussion focused on EU-US relations, US elections, US-UK trade as well as on COVID-19 and its influence on the transatlantic relationship. The importance of collaboration and coordination and the need for Chambers to act as bridgebuilders in these challenging times emerged in every discussion. 
In each meeting Susan Danger, CEO, AmCham EU and Chair, AmChams in Europe presented a joint statement published by the network in March 2020, calling for solidarity, coordination and action. You can read it here.
 
We would like to express our gratitude to the AmChams in Europe Secretariat, held by AmCham Slovenia for organising the virtual conference. We would also like to thank all of the stakeholders that participated in the meetings for their flexibility and insights.
