The 2016 Public Forum on “Inclusive Trade” will be held at the WTO headquarters in Geneva from 27 to 29 September. It will be an opportunity to discuss how a wider range of individuals and businesses can participate in the trading system and how WTO rules can help to ensure everyone benefits from trade.

The final programme can be consulted here.

The annual Public Forum is the WTO’s flagship event. It provides a unique platform for heads of state and leading businesspeople, academics and non-governmental organisations from around the world to come together and discuss some of the major trade and development issues of the day. Over 1,500 participants attend the Forum each year.

This year’s event is particularly special as we are marking the 15th anniversary of the Public Forum.
