DATE & TIME

The 118^th Annual Membership Meeting took place on June 2, 2022, as an in-person event in Düsseldorf. On June 1, 2022, our internal Executive Committee, Board of Directors as well as Chairpersons’ Meetings took place.

With Germany's G7 presidency in 2022 and the geopolitical shifts occurring as a result of the war in Ukraine and beyond, opportunities to strengthen transatlantic cooperation on a multitude of topics are vast: Ramping up transatlantic security, overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic and discussing future pandemic preparedness, deepening transatlantic cooperation in the healthcare sector and jointly working on sustainability and the global challenge of climate change, as well as advocating for a joint digital transatlantic economic zone: AmCham Germany's 118th Annual Membership Meeting in Düsseldorf highlighted and addressed these and other critical topics of importance for the transatlantic business community ahead of the G7 summit in late June 2022 at Schloss Elmau.
