Emerging Leaders
The Emerging Leaders Development Programme is designed to support the next generation of leaders. It is a dynamic cross-sector and cross-function leadership development programme which includes masterclasses, networking events and bespoke engagements, and culminates in the annual flagship AmCham Hackathon. The focus is on building core leadership skills while working with cross-sectoral, cross-functional peers, introducing participants to the Chambers' leadership network; and expanding their professional network.

AmCham Hackathon 2024
The Emerging Leader Development Programme culminates with participants bringing together everything they have touched on over the course of the programme in multi-disciplinary, cross-sector teams. The three-day Hackathon is an opportunity for participants to apply their learnings while working collaboratively in a supportive, exciting, challenging environment with their emerging leaders peer group.
Participants will work together to hack a solution to our AmCham Hackathon 2024 Challenge. The Challenge will be set by the American Chamber Board and shared with the participants following the Design Thinking session in March. It will aim to focus on creating a solution that is innovative, practical, applicable, and enhances Ireland as a great place to live and work.

What our graduates say...
I have been part of AmCham for many years and their initiatives, networking opportunities and leadership development programmes provided have been invaluable for Venga and for myself. The Emerging Leaders programme in particular, has been a highlight for me.
Such a terrific opportunity to network, connect, learn and develop amongst like-minded people, yet very diverse skillsets, backgrounds and sectors. I would absolutely recommend participating in the American Chamber Emerging Leaders Programme.
The Emerging Leaders programme exceeded my expectations in terms of networking, collaboration and quality of masterclasses. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their leadership skills and boost their network.
