Colombian-American Chamber of Commerce Miami

What Colombian-American Chamber of Commerce Miami does

The Colombian-American Chamber of Commerce Miami (CACC Miami), legally the Colombian American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Miami Inc, is a private nonprofit chamber of commerce founded in 1976 and headquartered at 1110 Brickell Avenue in Miami, Florida. It operates as a binational trade facilitation organization connecting Colombian and American businesses through a tiered membership model (Trustee, Benefactor, Honorary Trustee), a year-round calendar of signature events, executive breakfasts, webinars, workshops, and peer-learning programs such as EPIC (Entrepreneur Peer Insight Circle). Its event portfolio includes the Annual Gala, Colombian Day, the FORWARD technology conference, and the newly added Americas Food and Beverage 2026 trade event.

The chamber does not build proprietary technology products; its core delivery layers are a multilingual website (colombiachamber.com in Spanish and English), the Chamber Organizer third-party platform for member login and event ticketing, and event/podcast content. Strategic partnerships with World Trade Center Miami (venue and co-programming), PortMiami (quarterly trade data), the Consulate of Colombia, Florida SBDC at FIU, Seacoast Bank, Preferred Bank, Araújo Ibarra, Lime USA, Firefly, and Newfield Consulting supply the programming, expertise, and institutional reach that underpin the chamber's services.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual membership subscriptions across multiple tiers and through event ticket sales and sponsorships tied to galas, networking sessions, and specialized programs. The chamber is membership-governed via a Board of Directors led by President Javier Pinzón and Vice President Marcelo Duque, with no parent company or outside ownership. It is currently marking its 50th anniversary in 2026, with a black-tie gala scheduled for August 29, 2026 at the JW Marriott Brickell.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• World Trade Center Miami: A flagship CACC partner that also independently runs trade promotion, events, and tenant programming for international businesses in Miami. Overlaps with CACC on trade facilitation and event hosting, and is a venue/promotional partner at the same time.
• Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce: The dominant regional business chamber in Miami, offering similar membership tiers, networking events, and trade programming but as part of a broader multi-sector portfolio. CACC Miami competes with it for Miami-based corporate sponsors and executives interested in international trade.

Regional players

• Brazil-Florida Chamber of Commerce: A bilateral chamber serving a different Latin American country (Brazil) but operating in the same Miami market with the same membership/event model. Comparable because it competes for the same Miami-based corporate sponsorship budget and executive attention directed at Latin American trade.
• Cámara de Comercio de Medellín para Antioquia: One of Colombia's largest domestic chambers, with international trade and business development programs in the US. Comparable in organizational structure and member services but operates primarily from the Colombian side of the corridor.
• Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá: Colombia's largest regional chamber with international business services; competes with CACC Miami for attention from Colombian exporters interested in the US market and offers comparable member services from the Colombian side.

Direct peers

• AmCham Colombia: The American Chamber of Commerce in Colombia is the direct bilateral counterpart to CACC Miami, serving the same Colombia–US trade corridor from the Colombian side with membership tiers, events, and advocacy. Both organizations compete for the same corporate members and executive visibility along the same corridor.
• Colombia-Texas Chamber of Commerce: Another bilateral chamber serving Colombia–US trade flows, focused on the Texas corridor. Directly comparable in offering (memberships, networking events, trade facilitation) and competes for the same corporate budget allocated to bilateral trade promotion.

Others

• PortMiami: A Core strategic partner that publishes the Colombia trade data CACC uses and is itself a trade-facilitation stakeholder. Comparable as an ecosystem participant in the same bilateral trade corridor, though it is a port authority rather than a membership-based chamber.
• Florida SBDC at FIU: A direct CACC partner that also provides trade, financing, and market-entry advisory services to small businesses in South Florida. Comparable as an ecosystem participant that delivers overlapping trade facilitation content, though it is a public-sector provider rather than a membership chamber.

Emerging players

• British-American Business Miami: A bilateral chamber serving UK–US trade in Miami with a similar membership + event model. Comparable because it targets the same Miami-based corporate demographic seeking international business introductions, though for a different country corridor.
