EACC All-Chapter Leadership Summit

EACC Leadership Summit 2026

We are excited to invite EACC Board Members to join Executive Directors from across the EACC network at the 2026 Leadership Summit in Texas this fall.

📅 Thurs – Sat October 29-31, 2026

📍 Dallas, Texas

👉 Explore how to further strengthen and position the EACC network for continued growth and impact while fostering relationships among EACC Directors and (Board) members.

👥 For EACC Exec Directors + Board Members with relevant expertise and interest in contributing to the discussion

As the organization looks toward its next phase of growth in the 2026 EACC Leadership Summit, the leadership experience and perspectives of our Board leaders will be invaluable in shaping discussions around the future of the network.

Board leaders will have the opportunity to engage directly with EACC leadership from across the U.S. and Europe and contribute to conversations focused on:

• Strengthening network governance and leadership
• Defining the EACC’s strategic positioning and long-term sustainable impact
• Identifying priority markets and regions for future chapter expansion
• Exploring scalable frameworks and investment models for launching and sustaining new chapters

Beyond the strategic discussions, the Summit offers a unique opportunity to build relationships with fellow Board Members, Executive Directors, and transatlantic business leaders from across the EACC community.

Why is this an important time to address these topics?

The EACC is a trusted, curated, independent (non-political, non-lobbying) network, uniquely positioned to support its members in transatlantic business development. Especially in major themes (AI/tech sovereignty, shifting geopolitical landscape, energy, supply chain resilience, trade policy, protectionism, industry policy, strategic autonomy), there is a huge potential for our network to benefit from the changes in the transatlantic relationship.
