01

Why the chamber runs them

Their diary lives on their own site and individual dates are not copied here, because a stale duplicate of someone else’s calendar helps nobody.

Networking has always been a key reason companies join the Chamber. International firms seek to engage with peers and stay informed on regulatory and market developments, while local companies benefit from integration into the global business community and exposure to international standards and practices.

02

The four formats

Their own names for the four kinds of thing they run, with their own descriptions.

Business Roundtables and C-Suite Events
High-level gatherings designed to foster strategic dialogue and policy insight. Roundtables feature guest speakers from government, financial institutions, and the private sector. Recent speakers have included the Governor of the National Bank, the Minister for Economic Integration, and the Governor of the Astana International Financial Center. Complementing these are invitation-only C-Suite events for senior executives.
Sundowner Networking Evenings
Informal cocktail receptions where members and guests connect, share experiences, and explore new business opportunities in a relaxed setting. Hosted at leading venues in cities across Kazakhstan and fully sponsored by member companies, Sundowners often attract close to 200 attendees and remain one of the Chamber’s most popular event formats.
Seminars and Webinars
Topical sessions led by experts and policy professionals, offering timely insights on legislative changes, sector-specific developments, and emerging risks or opportunities. Sessions are delivered both in-person and online when appropriate.
Learning Groups
Curated small-group discussions focused on shared functions or business challenges. These sessions help members exchange solutions, benchmark practices, and deepen professional connections. Our CSR group is the most well-established, but we can start others based on member interest.
03

The two signature evenings

A family afternoon in July and a black tie evening with more than ten adjudicated awards.

U.S. Independence Day
A family event, complete with live music, entertainment, children’s activities, and traditional American food.
The AmCham Awards Gala
A high-profile black-tie evening honoring companies and individuals for excellence in business and community leadership. With more than 10 adjudicated awards presented, the Gala attracts senior executives, ambassadors, and government ministers, and stands as a highlight of AmCham’s annual calendar.

The member networks

Two standing networks that run their own sessions alongside the main programme.

Women’s Network
The AmCham Women’s Network brings members together to exchange expertise, share effective practices, and support women’s professional growth and leadership. Through practical discussions, peer learning, and joint initiatives, the Network helps create stronger and more inclusive workplaces across Kazakhstan’s business community.
CSR Network
The AmCham CSR Network provides a platform for members to exchange expertise, share effective practices, and collaborate on initiatives that create meaningful social impact. The Network connects companies and experts to strengthen corporate social responsibility and support sustainable community development in Kazakhstan.
05

What a sponsor can back

This chamber names no sponsor and publishes no tier ladder. What it publishes instead is what a sponsor can back: advocacy work, the events programme, and business development including Investors’ Voice. Their own line is that sponsors gain visibility within the business community and help strengthen the platforms that drive meaningful dialogue and connections, and that companies should write to the office to learn more. Nothing is listed here, because naming a company as a sponsor of a chamber that has not said so would be an invented claim.
