WITA International

WITA International originated with our highly successful WITA International Trade Reception at the WTO Public Forum in Geneva, highlighting the importance of fostering the international trade community abroad. Building on its success, WITA International will now host additional events abroad, linking Washington, DC perspectives with global capitals and bringing international trade insights back to DC.

Through WITA International, we are expanding our reach with programs that connect Washington, DC to capitals across the globe, emphasizing that what happens in DC matters internationally, and what happens around the world impacts DC. More information on WITA International programs may be found below.

Sponsors of WITA International contribute to initiatives such as the WITA International Trade Reception in Geneva, Embassy & Ministry Network, the Global Webinar Platform, and other events that connect the global trade community. Your sponsorship ensures that diverse perspectives on trade are brought to light and helps educate WITA’s membership and the public on critical trade issues.

  • WITA’s Embassy and Ministry Network (EMN): WITA’s EMN provides a dedicated platform for embassy representatives, ministry officials, and policymakers to stay connected with the global trade community. Through a series of expert-led discussions, the initiative creates dialogue on key trade and economic issues, promoting collaboration between international trade officials and the Washington, DC, trade community.

  • WITA International Trade Reception: Hosted annually during the WTO Public Forum in Geneva, this premier event brings together diplomats from WTO member countries, WTO officials, and leaders from the global business community. It serves as a vital networking opportunity for WITA members visiting Geneva, fostering connections with their international counterparts and promoting high-level dialogue on pressing trade policy issues.
  • Global Webinar Platform: Launching in 2025, this platform will feature regionally focused webinars originating from outside of DC. These programs will highlight key trade developments and issues from around the world, offering our members and the public a deeper understanding of global trade dynamics.
  • International Intensive Trade Seminars: A global extension of WITA’s signature ITS program, these custom seminars address regional trade issues and challenges from around the world. These tailored deep dives explore specific trade topics or regions, equipping participants with the knowledge to navigate complex trade policy landscapes effectively.
  • In-Person Engagement Abroad: Alongside the successful reception in Geneva, WITA International will host additional events abroad, fostering direct dialogue between global trade professionals and Washington, DC, decision-makers.
