World Trade Center Atlanta’s – 1st Annual World Trade Day

Come and engage in the 1st Annual World Trade Day!

The theme is “Trade Talk: Real Conversations About the Future of Global Trade”.

Let’s face it. This is a historic day for extraordinary times. Uncertainty about international trade and investment has taken center stage. Changes in leadership and country dynamics in key countries like the U.S, UK, China, Brazil, and even Cuba have raised questions about the future of trade policies, government regulations, and even diplomatic relations. Sweeping changes that impact everything from tariffs and immigration to in-country logistics and brand reputation are expected. Yet, most global executives are uncertain about how to prepare for the effects of disruptions as well as capture hidden opportunities.

World Trade Day is bringing experts in global trade and investment to foster key conversations and connections to help us all navigate through uncertain times.
