2026 Building Resilience Conference

The 2026 Building Resilience Conference, hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, is a national convening focused on disaster preparedness, response, and community resilience. The conference aims to strengthen America's capacity and opportunity by bringing together leaders from business, government, communities, and civil society. The theme, "Strengthening America for the Next Generation," explores major challenges faced by communities and businesses, such as rising disaster costs, infrastructure strain, small business vulnerabilities, and new operational threats, and shifts to forward-looking solutions, emerging technologies, future risks, and long-term resilience investments. Programming includes main stage conversations with leading voices in resilience, innovation, and policy, collaborative working sessions and cross-sector labs, networking opportunities, and action-oriented tools and frameworks for attendees.
