The NGLCC is thrilled to announce that the 2025 Affiliate Chamber Education Summit will be hosted in Cleveland, Ohio at the Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland for three days of programming, March 4-6. Our team is thrilled to collaborate with Plexus, the Northeast Ohio LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce, to deliver a dynamic and impactful event for the staff and board members of NGLCC’s U.S.-based affiliate chambers.

The Affiliate Chamber Education Summit is designed to equip NGLCC affiliate chambers with the tools and insights needed to grow and thrive as leading business organizations in their local communities. Through educational sessions focused on a variety of topics, such as membership development, organizational sustainability, event planning, supplier diversity best practices, and more, affiliates will leave with actionable strategies and a deeper understanding of industry trends, setting their chambers up for success in 2025 and beyond.

The Affiliate Chamber Education Summit will be hosted at the Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland, located in the heart of a storied downtown. In an effort to continue providing an accessible experience, the NGLCC secured a matching discounted rate for summit attendees at $209 per room in addition to maintaining a NO-COST registration for the Summit itself.
