Vietnam Business Forum – Key Outcomes and Outlook: the Inside Story

This special hybrid event co-organized by AmCham and EuroCham is to learn the inside story and key outcomes from the February 18 Technical Sessions and February 21 High-level VBF with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, and the outlook for Vietnam and the VBF for 2022. The event is co-hosted with Consortium Member Chambers AusCham, BeluxCham, BritCham, HKBAV, InCham, ICham, JCCI, and KoCham.

IFC Acting Country Director Amy Luinstra will offer opening remarks. Outgoing VBF Co-Chair and JCCI Board Member Tetsu Funayama will share his perspective on key outcomes for 2021. 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 a 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!
