The Conference will take place between 22 and 23 September 2011, in Bucharest, at the headquarters of The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania, Dacia Hall.

The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania (CCIR) is the most powerful association of the business environment in Romania, gathering business environment in Romania, bringing together its entire network of 42 county chambers of commerce and industry, bilateral chambers of commerce and professional associations.

The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania operates as a single entity rather than a single entity since 1864. Ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza issued a decree that allowed chambers of commerce to be established in Romania. At that time, the administrative division of Romania was very bureaucratic, especially because the country had just escaped from the domination of many neighbouring great powers. Therefore, an institutional development of the rooms was very difficult. Thus, during the reign of King Charles, a need for changing legislation became stringent.

In 1923, King Charles adopted a law which established that there must be a chamber of commerce in each county of Romania. This happened after the Great Unification of Transylvania (1918), when Bassarabia became part of Great Romania. All Chambers of Commerce formed The Union of County Chamber of Commerce, which today is called the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania. When the communist regime came to power, private property was abolished, and the rooms were dismantled, except Bucharest Chamber, which was not expressly abolished expressis verbis, but became obsolete. Under the pressure of external relations, the communist regime was required to establish a Chamber of Commerce. So emerged the Foreign Trade Chamber of the Romanian by People's Republic nr.444/1949 Decree, as the Chamber of Commerce. In 1990, after the Revolution, one of the first laws adopted in Romania, was Decree Law No. 139 / 1990, by which chambers of commerce have been re-established.
