About the Summit
The B20 is the G20’s premier forum for private sector engagement, bringing together business leaders from the world’s major economies to contribute recommendations on global economic policy. Through the B20, the business community helps shape discussions on growth, competitiveness, trade, investment, innovation, and economic cooperation.
In 2026, the United States will host the B20 for the first time, with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce leading B20 USA. Taking place November 9–11 in Washington, D.C., the B20 USA Summit will convene global business leaders to strengthen partnerships, advance practical solutions, and support growth in the United States and around the world.
B20 USA 2026—hosted in the United States for the first time—is a forum where global business leaders representing ~75% of world trade engage directly with decision-makers to shape policy and advance deals and investment.
