Event Information
Historical record. This address served the Chamber's event database between roughly 2005 and 2011, with a separate record for each event. Individual event records — with their dates, fees, registration links and speaker lists — are not reproduced. What follows is an index of the programmes that ran through it.
For most of the second half of the 2000s the Chamber ran its calendar out of a database-driven event system, and this was the address every individual event listing resolved to. It is preserved here as an index of what that system carried.
Recurring Programmes in the Event Database
Business Exchanges
The sector matchmaking series was the largest recurring item, with editions across broadband, new media, web technology, telehealth, water technology and health information technology. Each edition had its own micro-site alongside the main event record, and each was built around pre-arranged one-to-one meetings between selected Israeli companies and US buyers, investors and partners. See US-Israel Business Exchanges.
The Annual Gala
The Eagle Star Awards Gala appeared annually, together with its sponsor and award-category records. See Eagle Star Awards Gala.
Professional Seminars
The annual professional and business seminar ran through this system from the mid-2000s, with earlier editions carried on standalone static pages. See the professional seminar.
Briefings and Workshops
The near-monthly programme of member briefings made up the bulk of individual records: incoming Israeli delegations presenting in a sector, funding-programme briefings, practical workshops on export documentation and US market entry, and updates on state-level collaborations.
Trade Missions
Outbound business missions to Israel — general, industry-specific and corporate — were listed here with their itineraries and registration details.
Why This Address Still Exists
Between 2005 and 2011 this was one of the most linked addresses on the Chamber's site: every event announcement, every newsletter item and every partner listing pointed at it. When the Chamber moved to a new platform in 2011 the entire event system went with it, and those links were left pointing at nothing.
This archive restores a real page here rather than redirecting, because the address carries a meaningful share of the domain's inbound references and because there is honest content for it to hold: the programmes above are exactly what the original system listed. The modern equivalent of this page is the events calendar.

How the Chamber's Web Presence Changed
This address is a useful marker in the site's own history, because the organisation rebuilt its website at least four times and each rebuild left a different vocabulary of URLs behind.
The first generation, running from the late 1990s, was hand-built static HTML with capitalised directory names and .htm files. The second, through the early 2000s, added standalone micro-sites for individual programmes — each Business Exchange edition, each business mission and each major seminar effectively got its own small website. The third, from roughly 2005, moved the whole operation onto a database-driven ASP.NET platform, which is the generation this page belongs to: events, newsletters, membership records and case studies all became database entries served through a handful of addresses like this one. The fourth, from 2011, moved to a content management system with clean lowercase hyphenated addresses and no file extensions at all.
Each migration silently orphaned the previous generation's addresses. That is an ordinary fate for a long-lived organisational website, and it is the main reason this archive is organised around the final generation's structure while preserving the highest-value legacy addresses — like this one — as real pages rather than dead ends.
What the Records Contained
A typical event record in this system carried a title, a date and venue, a description, a fee schedule for members and non-members, a registration link, and often a speaker list and sponsor acknowledgements. None of that operational detail is reproduced here: the dates are long past, the registration links are dead, and the speaker and sponsor lists name identifiable people and businesses whose circumstances have changed. The programme index above is what remains meaningful.
Researching a Specific Event
Because the individual event records are not reproduced here, anyone tracing a particular seminar, exchange or mission — a date, a programme, a set of participating companies — should go to the Internet Archive, which holds captures of this address from across the whole period the system was in use. This archive reconstructs the shape of the programme; the Wayback captures hold the individual entries.
