The 2025 WTCA Member Forum, held virtually from October 27–29, brought together 280 participants from 105 World Trade Centers across 43 countries/territories for three days of collaboration, learning, and networking.

This year’s theme "Empowering Emerging Voices" celebrated rising leaders and emerging regions shaping the global economy. The Forum featured expert-led sessions such as State of Global Trade, Digital Literacy for Trade Pros, Navigating Investment Opportunities and Cross-Cultural Communication in a Global Network. Attendees also engaged in interactive workshops, Member Power Pitches, and mentor–mentee matchups, fostering meaningful connections across time zones and cultures.

The event reinforced the WTCA’s commitment to building a connected, resilient and innovative global network.

Vivek George, AGM – Business Development for WTC Bengaluru, Chennai and Kochi, served as the Forum's Project Team Member representing the APAC region. The team shaped the event’s theme, curated sessions, and brought together diverse voices from the global WTC network.

Vivek also spoke during the “October 29 Programming” session, where the WTCA Project Team shared key takeaways and reflections from the Member Forum.
