Geneva Trade Week 2020 is a digital conference organized by the Geneva Trade Platform and running from Monday the 28th of September through to Friday the 2nd of October.

There is an undeniable need to open the sometimes-opaque world of international trade policymaking to a broader audience, and to invite that audience to share their perspectives with officials, delegates, and one another. In addition, there is clear demand for deep, technical discussions among leading experts on the thorniest economic, legal, and practical challenges facing the international trading system.
Beyond these goals, we are cognizant and keen to emulate the important role major events play in providing networking opportunities for trade specialists and practitioners alike, and a platform to highlight exciting research, impactful projects, and bold new ideas.
In delivering Geneva Trade Week, we aim to leverage the possibilities unlocked by remote digital delivery to experiment with new formats that broaden the range of contributors and participants.
Specifically, GPT’s Geneva Trade Week aims to provide the international trade community with a range of spaces within which to meet, share ideas, and collaborate.
