Curated Conversations at the WTO Public Forum 2026

During the 2026 WTO Public Forum the Geneva Trade Platform will be hosting the Curated Conversations series.

Delivered in partnership with the World Trade Organization, the Curated Conversations will take place on 16–17 September 2026 at the WTO’s Centre William Rappard in Geneva.

The initiative will bring together over 40 invitation-only roundtables designed to complement the Public Forum programme with smaller, focused, and highly interactive discussions on the most pressing issues facing international trade and trade policy.

The Curated Conversations series builds on the Geneva Trade Platform’s longstanding commitment to creating spaces for meaningful dialogue across governments, international organizations, business, academia, and civil society. These sessions are intended to facilitate candid exchanges, practical thinking, and new connections among trade stakeholders from around the world.

Designed to supplement the Public Forum’s public sessions, Curated Conversations will be held behind closed doors and by invitation only, creating an environment that encourages substantive policy dialogue, cross-sector exchange, and forward-looking discussion.

Session organizers have full responsibility for the content, format, and participant composition of their conversations.

Joining Sessions

Each session is invitation-only and it is the session organizers, not the Geneva Trade Platform or WTO Secretariat that are managing their invitation lists.

On the agenda, each session includes a contact e-mail address for the organizer of each session.

If you are interested in attending a session or would like more information on it, please e-mail the organizers directly using that address.

We look forward to seeing you at the WTO Public Forum and in our Curated Conversations.
