Greater Raleigh Chamber
Inter-City Visit & Leadership Conference 2026
Phoenix, AZ
In the Spring of 2026, The Greater Raleigh Chamber and 75 business and community leaders traveled to Phoenix, AZ to learn from another growing metro experiencing significant growth and development.
Because of the many varied topics covered over the course of the conference, this design focuses primarily on Phoenix as a location. The desert theme is reinforced by a grain texture and the sun graphics in place of the O’s in “Horizon.” Additionally, one of the major growth areas in the Phoenix economy is semiconductor production. The design features cactuses overlaid with conductor nodes as a nod to this area of development.
The Metro Comparison guide was designed with Greater Raleigh Chamber branding in anticipation of the Inter-City Visit & Leadership Conference to identify key points where Phoenix, AZ and Raleigh, NC are similar, as well as where and how they differ.
By highlighting data points like household income, cost of childcare, household composition, and business development, business and community leaders are able to compare quality of life in two metros and address various pain points in our own community based on the knowledge they gather.
