All through 2023, AmCham EU is celebrating 60 years of advocating for American companies committed to Europe. In the decades since the first meeting of the organisation’s forerunner, the Common Market Panel, it has evolved to include over 160 members and a network of decision-makers and stakeholders that extends from Brussels and the European capitals all the way to Washington, DC and beyond. However, what has not changed in those years is AmCham EU’s mission: building a more united EU and a stronger transatlantic relationship.

AmCham EU is marking this milestone with special content highlighting the organisation’s history as well as member companies’ contributions to the communities they live and work in. As always, AmCham EU will release its flagship publications – such as the 20th annual Transatlantic Economy Report – and host its signature events, including the 11th Annual Transatlantic Digital Economy Conference, the 40th Annual Competition Policy Conference and an extraordinary annual gala. Special events for members and staff alumni will also take place throughout the year.
