At the forefront of global resilience, our conference is the longest running of its kind, designed to inspire and spark innovation and cross-sector collaboration.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation will host its annual Building Resilience Conference on May 6-7, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
Our speakers and sponsors are dedicated to shaping a more resilient nation that can effectively navigate crises and overcome the urgent challenges posed by disasters.
Now is the time to reset our nation's approach to resilience—making it faster, more proactive, and risk-oriented—with strong partnerships at the core. Attendees will take part in conversations about anticipating future risks, improving efficiency, strengthening cross-sector collaboration, managing costs related to preparedness and recovery, and measuring impact.
