With all eyes on trade during the Public Forum, our goal is to design and deliver additional sessions that provide value atop the more traditional offerings available during the week. 

This year, we are focusing strongly on trade’s intersection with the policy areas directly impacting people’s lives. From the environment to refugee opportunities, our sessions dive into what trade policy can do, and what those making it need to know about areas beyond commerce.
