2026 Intercity Visit Toolkit

Every year, chambers of commerce load up buses and board planes, bringing their community's most influential leaders to study what is working somewhere else. For many chambers, intercity visits have become one of the most durable tools used to help their communities set and pursue civic agendas.

Drawing on collective field experience from chamber leaders across the country and real-world agendas from programs of every size, ACCE's 2026 Intercity Visit Toolkit gives you a playbook for planning, executing and driving change through intercity visits. It includes:

• Practical guidance for every stage of the process and chambers of every size

• Real-world case studies showing how intercity visits produce lasting civic impact

• A first-timers roadmap to launch new programs with confidence

• Sample documents from established programs
