Join Chamber executives David G. Brown and Bryan Derreberry - with over 80 years of award-winning Chamber experience - and futurist Rebecca Ryan for an exclusive preview of two new offerings to help chambers leverage foresight - and Horizon 2035 - into strategic action.

In this 50-minute session, we'll share:

* Quick Sort: A dynamic 2-hour tabletop exercise perfect for board retreats and strategic planning sessions that helps your staff and board prioritize the 11 forces in the Horizon 2035 report

* Wind Tunnel Test: A comprehensive assessment that reveals whether your current strategic plan is future-ready

* Real results from a Chamber whose leadership will share how these tools helped them update their plan and make it more resilient

This session is ideal for Chamber leaders asking:

* How can we make our annual board retreat more strategic and future-focused?

* How does our plan stack up against the trends and influences that will hit my organization and community over the next 10 years?

* What should we start investing in now to make us more resilient?

* What can I share with our investors to show our relevance?

Space is limited to Horizon 2035 investors and chamber executives. Register now to secure your spot and receive exclusive pricing on both offerings through the July ACCE Convention.

PS: Join us in congratulating David on his 2025 ACCE Lifetime Achievement Award!
