The Public Forum will be held at the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva, Switzerland from 8-11 October 2019. This year's conference entitled "Trading Forward: Adapting to a Changing World," will highlight the following themes:

• Services—the next trade frontier;
• The next generation—what do Millennials and Gen Z want to see from global trade; and
• The next chapter of the WTO—strengthening the trading system

It will feature 137 sessions focusing on the rapidly changing trading environment and will be organized by governments, private sector, civil society, academics and students. These sessions will offer a vast array of voices on one platform to discuss pressing issues of how to reinforce current polices and regulations to address both development and national policy concerns so that the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, workers, and consumers can prepare and adapt for tomorrow. 

The TFAF Team looks forward to seeing you there!
