Over 30 representatives from AmChams across Europe took part in the AmChams in Europe’s (ACE) annual best practice conference in Sofia, Bulgaria on October 5-8, 2022. AmCham Latvia, represented by its Executive Director Liga Smildzina-Bertulsone had the honor to enjoy an enriching program covering a number of timely topics including many opportunities for socializing and networking.

The conference was a great opportunity to share best practices and ideas among peers by discussing challenges, sharing experiences, learning and debating to increase value of each organization.

Highlights of the conference included the reception hosted by U.S. Ambassador Mustafa, AmChampion Awards Ceremony Gala, visit to INSAIT Institute at the University of Sofia and ACE Creative Network Award aiming at incentivizing AmChams to share creative and innovative projects to benefit the entire ACE network. This year’s Creative Network Award was awarded to AmCham Slovenia for their project "I am a teacher!” which recognizes and highlights excellent teachers and their best practices in the Slovenian school environment in order to restore the reputation and respect of the teaching profession.

ACE is a network of 46 AmChams around Europe and Eurasia representing some 17 000 companies and EUR 1.1 trillion in investment.
