Philly Daily, where my Crime Beat column appears each week, reports that the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia’s President and CEO Chellie Cameron released a message to the regional business community on how to work together and achieve the Chamber’s 2028 vision.

Dear Chamber
Community,
2026 is
finally here, and excitement is building across our region. We've already
captured national attention, most notably with The
New York Times naming Philadelphia as the top place to visit
this year, and the momentum will only grow as we prepare to host an
unprecedented lineup of major events. From the 250th
anniversary of our nation's founding to the FIFA World Cup, our city and region have a
rare, historic opportunity to shape how the world sees us. As the Chamber, our
responsibility is clear: we must leverage these moments to create more jobs,
strengthen our competitiveness, and expand opportunities for residents across
our region.
That's why
our Business Attraction & Expansion
team is leading an ambitious initiative to use the 2026 events
as powerful economic development engines. Our goal is simple but
transformative: to attract new companies and generate jobs that will benefit
our region long after the final whistle blows.
To achieve
this, we are executing a coordinated series of high‑impact business attraction
experiences tied to these major events. During the NCAA Tournament, PGA Championship, and throughout the FIFA
World Cup and MLB All‑Star Week, we
are partnering with state, city, and county leaders across Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, and Delaware to host immersive activations that highlight our region's
innovation ecosystem, talent strengths, affordability, and unmatched quality of
life. These experiences include tours of major innovation hubs and industrial
sites, as well as opportunities for site selectors to meet directly with
business leaders and government officials who can speak firsthand to the
advantages of doing business in Greater Philadelphia.
