The Forum will offer participants an opportunity to consider the increasing role for services in trade, the aspirations of youth for the future trading system and how the WTO should change to meet current and future challenges.
The 137 sessions in this year’s Forum will be organized by WTO members, businesses, non-governmental organizations, academia, law firms and international organizations.
The Forum will include an opening debate on “Trading Forward: Adapting to a Changing World” and a high-level youth panel on “What Millennials & Gen Z want to see from global trade”. It will also feature the launch of the WTO’s World Trade Report 2019, which focuses on services, a photo exhibition on young people’s expectations for world trade and “Meet the Author” sessions, where selected authors will present their latest books.
