World Trade Centers Association’s 56th Annual Global Business Forum

The 56th Annual World Trade Centers Association Global Business Forum (GBF) will take place in Philadelphia from April 19–22, 2026, bringing together global business leaders, investors, and decision-makers from more than 300 World Trade Centers across 90+ countries.
Hosted by World Trade Center Greater Philadelphia, GBF 2026 positions Greater Philadelphia as a gateway to international trade and investment. The Forum features curated B2B matchmaking, sector-focused programming, executive sessions, and opportunities to connect directly with global partners seeking U.S. market access.
While Philadelphia serves as the host city, the Forum is designed for businesses across the region, including companies throughout Greater Philadelphia and surrounding counties. Local, national, and international firms will engage in meaningful conversations around market expansion, cross-border partnerships, and global growth.
