The CanCham Vietnam team once again wishes all our members and partners a joyful and prosperous Lunar New Year – the Year of the Horse. We hope the year has begun with energy, success, and new opportunities for you, your teams, and your businesses.
March is a time of planning and preparation as the Chamber looks ahead to a busy and engaging year. Our team is currently working closely with the Executive Board and committees to finalize CanCham’s event calendar and initiatives for 2026, and we look forward to sharing more updates with our members in the coming weeks.
We are also preparing for our Annual General Meeting (AGM), which will take place in early April. The AGM is an important opportunity to connect with our members, reflect on the past year, and share our plans and priorities for the year ahead.
In the meantime, preparations continue for the Children’s Cancer Run 2026, one of CanCham’s most meaningful community initiatives. Please note that the event has been rescheduled to the end of May, and more information will be shared soon. We hope many of you will join us as we come together once again to support children and families affected by cancer.
