No doubt about it– technology is changing the way we do business everyday.

Whether navigating global supply chain details, creating innovative products and processes, or meeting new compliance and security standards, technology is impacting international trade.

The 2nd Annual World Trade Day Conference and Networking Event 2018 (worldtradeday.com) is convening thought leaders and executives to foster key conversations and connections regarding the expanding role innovation is playing in global trade and investment relations.

Hundreds of experts in international trade made our first World Trade Day (May 2017) one of the largest of its kind in the nation. This year’s event will also be livestreamed to over 300 World Trade Centers around the world to ensure a global audience.

This year we have tailored many of the education panels and the "Conversations that Matter" audience engagement format to help you solve your organization's global growth challenges.

Here is a sneak peek at the 2018 program, which also includes dedicated networking sessions throughout the day.
