Global business doesn’t begin with transactions. It begins with relationships.

In today’s economy, access matters. The organizations best positioned for growth are the ones connected to strong international networks and ecosystems.

At WTCGP, membership is more than a logo on a website. It's access to global business leaders, international markets, B2B opportunities, and the relationships that drive growth beyond your immediate market.

Access isn’t about information—it’s about proximity.

From the mainstage to B2B meetings, every conversation was designed to move beyond ideas and toward action.

Inside the B2B matchmaking sessions at the 2026 World Trade Centers Association Global Business Forum, companies were connecting with partners, exploring new markets, and identifying opportunities across borders.

We’ve officially kicked off the 2026 World Trade Centers Association Global Business Forum!

The room is here, and it’s for you. We hope you make the most of the connections and opportunities this Forum provides.

For 56 years, this Forum has represented WTCA at its best. Now, it returns to the United States for the first time in nearly 10 years during a monumental year for Philadelphia and our region.

That momentum is proof that commercial diplomacy is alive and thriving, especially in the Northeast Corridor.

Some of the speakers who helped kick off GBF include:
Welcoming remarks from Mayor Cherelle L. Parker and David L. Cohen
Keynote address from His Excellency Xie Feng, Ambassador of China to the United States
A fireside chat about legacy and leadership featuring Julius "Dr. J" Erving, Thomas Young, Rep. Jordan Harris, and Jabari Young.

We look forward to the rest of the week!
