This year’s Public Forum, entitled “Trading Forward: Adapting to a Changing World”, will feature 136 sessions to be held at the WTO’s headquarters from 8 to 11 October. All the sessions at the Forum will be organized by participants, including WTO member governments, businesses, non-governmental organizations, academia, law firms and international organizations.
The Forum’s high-level sessions will look at how countries, businesses and traders can best prepare and adapt to a changing world, what Millennials and Generation Z expect from global trade, the increasing importance of services in global trade, and how the WTO can respond to a rapidly changing world. The Forum will also include the launch of the 2019 edition of the World Trade Report entitled “The Future of Trade in Services”.
“Meet the Author” sessions will provide participants with an opportunity to meet a selection of authors presenting their latest books.
Also, 14 exhibitors, including young entrepreneurs, will showcase new inventions, environmental solutions and recent research. Information on this year’s exhibitors is available here.
