The U.S. Minority Chamber (USMCC) announces the 28th International CEO Summit of the Americas, taking place December 3–5, 2026, at the Sheraton Miami Airport Hotel in Miami, Florida. This year’s summit will focus on the theme:

DEMOCRACY AND PROSPERITY SUMMIT FOR THE AMERICAS

The international conference will bring together business executives, investors, government representatives, institutional leaders and entrepreneurs from across the Americas and other international markets for discussions focused on trade, investment, economic development, entrepreneurship, international cooperation and private-sector opportunities.

The summit will also address the importance of creating conditions that allow businesses and communities to participate in economic development, including open markets, investment, infrastructure, entrepreneurship, regulatory efficiency and cooperation among nations.

“The Americas are at an important crossroads, and the private sector has an essential role in creating new opportunities through trade, investment and entrepreneurship,” said Doug Mayorga, CEO of the U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce. “Our mission is to facilitate connections among business, government and institutional leaders and create spaces where ideas, opportunities and practical solutions can be discussed.”

According to the Chamber, the CEO of the Americas Summit has become a platform for business diplomacy and international networking, connecting leaders and organizations interested in expanding commercial relationships throughout the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean.

The 2026 edition will emphasize four principal areas:

• Strategic Business Networking
• Investment and Business Opportunities
• Innovation and Leadership
• International Cooperation

The Chamber expects participation from leaders and representatives from multiple countries, with discussions addressing the opportunities and challenges affecting commerce and investment throughout the Western Hemisphere.

The U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce describes itself as an independent, nonprofit economic-development organization focused on supporting minority-owned businesses and entrepreneurs, including Latino, African American, women-owned and Asian American businesses.

With its headquarters in Washington, D.C., and operational centers in locations including Miami, Atlanta, New Orleans, Costa Rica and Curaçao, the Chamber works to facilitate business connections, trade, investment and international cooperation.
