Seminars

Periodically each year, AmCham organizes seminars about topics in business relevant to our members. We utilize our extensive connections to hold seminars in conjunction with various enterprises and to bring top-notch speakers to these events. Sofofa, ProChile, El Mercurio, Diario Financiero, Council of The Americas, and CORFO are a few of the firms with which AmCham has organized cooperative seminars. 


            These events usually take place in Santiago, Chile, but are often also held in a variety of other Chilean cities. Since the U.S.-Chile Free Trade Agreement (FTA) went into force in January, 2004, AmCham has sought to spread awareness of the commercial opportunities brought by this agreement by holding seminars throughout Chile.

One of our most famous and successful seminars over the past seven years has been a forum to discuss Economic Projections.Other popular seminars address Intellectual Property Rights, Foreign Investment, and Entrance into U.S. markets.


 



Events Coordination

Each year, AmCham also organizes social events so that our members can keep abreast of the latest business developments and advance their networking relationships. AmCham regularly holds monthly breakfasts, economic seminars, cocktails, sports tournaments, and motorcycle trips, among other events, to maintain close contact and coordination with our members as well as between our member companies themselves.



Renting of Conference Rooms

            AmCham rents out its specially equipped conference rooms that ably accommodate meetings between your company’s executives and clients.
