AmCham VBF Representative Fred Burke will moderate a discussion with key Working Group Leads on key results and insights. The event will conclude with a “fireside chat” with EuroCham Chair Alain Cany (and unofficial Godfather of the VBF) representing views of EuroCham on its 2022 role as Co-Chair and Fred Burke, also a dedicated VBF guru, on the the outlook of VBF for 2022, including plans to strengthen its effectiveness in serving member chambers.

While the main purpose of the event is to allow an opportunity for HCMC-based business representatives to learn about and discuss the VBF outcomes and outlook, we will hold the event in a hybrid format to allow participation of both speakers and members of the audience, wherever you are located. We look forward to seeing many members and friends for productive discussion, and a follow-on cocktail networking session for those who can join in-person!
