Strengthening Ties, Shaping Futures: FACC Annual Network Conference
In October, Presidents and Directors of the French American Chambers of Commerce gathered in San Francisco for the Annual Network Conference—a pivotal event for sharing insights and enhancing collaboration. Over two intensive days, participants engaged in workshops focused on refining the chambers’ economic models, sharing best practices, and strengthening partnerships.
Our mission, “to facilitate growth, improve knowledge, foment dialogue, and develop leaders,” was at the heart of these discussions. With a commitment to fostering the establishment and development of French businesses in the United States, FACC also emphasizes creating meaningful business events that inform, inspire, and promote mutual understanding between France and the U.S. We are dedicated to supporting our local community with the highest standards of service, fostering professional development and unity across borders.
A special moment included a conversation between Cedric Le Rouge and Olivier Cadic , Sénateur des Fran?ais établis hors de France, all set against the stunning views of San Francisco Bay—a fitting backdrop for our shared vision of connection and progress.
