2026 World Trade Centers Association Member Forum to Convene Global Network to Shape What’s Next for Global Business
NEW YORK, NY October 12, 2026 — World Trade Centers Association® (WTCA®) — an international trade organization connecting more than 300 World Trade Center® (WTC®) locations across nearly 100 countries and territories — will virtually host the 2026 WTCA Member Forum from October 27-28, bringing together its global network to exchange ideas, share practical strategies and explore how WTC businesses can prepare for the opportunities shaping the future of global business.
Centered on the theme “Connecting Ideas. Shaping What’s Next,” the annual Member Forum will draw on the collective expertise of WTCA members around the world, with programming focused on turning lessons from across the network into action in local markets. Sessions will explore how WTC businesses are responding to changing industries and investment patterns, strengthening local business communities, creating globally connected opportunities and positioning their organizations and places for the future.
The Forum will open with a briefing from WTCA Chair, Board of Directors John E. Drew and WTCA’s new Chief Executive Officer Annette Gregg, who will share perspectives on the Association’s direction, developments across the global network and priorities for the year ahead.
“This year’s Member Forum comes at a pivotal time for our Association as we recently moved our Headquarters office to One World Trade Center, and announced the appointment of the Association’s new CEO,” said John E. Drew, WTCA Chair, Board of Directors. “The Forum is designed to be an annual touchpoint to reconnect with our members from around the world and tap into one of the greatest strengths of WTCA — the knowledge, experiences and ideas that exist throughout our global membership. We also plan for this to be the Association’s last virtual Member Forum as we are aiming to get back to our in-person format at One World Trade Center starting next year.”
“The Forum marks an important first for me as I join WTCA, and I’m excited to meet our members from around the world and begin this next chapter together,” added Annette Gregg, WTCA Chief Executive Officer. “As I step into this role, I look forward to building on the Association’s strong foundation while exploring new ways to support our members and strengthen the impact of WTCA around the world.”
Throughout the two-day program, WTCA members and industry leaders will share practical approaches and ideas that can be applied across markets. Key sessions include “WTCA Member Power Pitches: Shaping What’s Next,” a fast-paced showcase of ideas and initiatives creating value at WTC locations around the world. The interactive “Introducing the WTC Business Club Playbook: Build Locally. Connect Globally” session will introduce a new framework for building local business communities and creating pathways to introductions, trade support and opportunities across the global WTCA network. The “Future-Ready WTC Businesses: Creating Places that Shape What’s Next” session will explore how evolving industries, investment patterns and ways of working are influencing real estate strategies, as well as how WTC businesses can create environments that attract investment and encourage business collaboration. The interactive “Global Café: Trade in Transition” session will bring members together to exchange perspectives on changing trade policies, tariffs and market conditions, and explore how WTC businesses can connect emerging opportunities across the global network. And the “Technology in Action” session will showcase unique ways WTCA members are putting technology into action — from improving business matchmaking and events to creating new experiences, strengthening services and solving everyday challenges.
"Virtual does not mean less connection," added Crystal Edn, WTCA Executive Director-Member Services. "Across two days of presentations and interactive workshops, members from every region will exchange ideas and meet peers they would not otherwise reach. We built the program for every level of a WTC team. Everyone will leave with new tools, new ideas and new partners for the year ahead."
The Forum will also kick off the official countdown to the highly anticipated 57th annual WTCA Global Business Forum, which will be hosted April 4-7, 2027, in Binh Duong Ward, North of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam by WTC Binh Duong New City. The session “Destination Vietnam: Bringing the 2027 WTCA GBF to Life” will highlight the market opportunities, business experiences and programming that will shape next year’s global gathering.

World Trade Centers Association Appoints Annette Gregg as First Female CEO in 57-Year History
NEW YORK, NY – October 5, 2026 — World Trade Centers Association® (WTCA®) — an international trade organization connecting more than 300 World Trade Center® (WTC®) locations across nearly 100 countries and territories — today announced the appointment of Annette Gregg as its first female Chief Executive Officer in the Association’s 57-year history.
Gregg joins WTCA as the Association enters a new chapter, following the recent return of its global headquarters to the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan after 25 years, signaling an exciting new chapter for the organization, and further advancing its mission of “Connecting Businesses, Globally.” As CEO, Gregg will provide strategic leadership to WTCA and its global staff, working closely with the Board of Directors and Members to advance the Association’s strategic and business priorities. She will also serve as a leading public voice for WTCA, focused on strengthening engagement across its Membership, expanding the global network and creating new opportunities for Members to connect businesses, markets and communities through international trade and investment.
“Annette brings the combination of strategic vision, financial acumen and global stakeholder engagement that WTCA needs as we look toward the future,” said John E. Drew, Chair of the WTCA Board of Directors. “Throughout her career, she has demonstrated that she knows how to strengthen international organizations by listening to their Members, creating meaningful value and building connections across markets and cultures. With Annette stepping into this new role and WTCA recently establishing its headquarters at One World Trade Center, we are building on a strong legacy while positioning the Association for its next era of global growth and impact.”
Gregg brings more than 30 years of leadership experience spanning global associations, private enterprise and the international business events and hospitality sectors. Most recently, she served as CEO of the Society for Incentive Travel Excellence (SITE), where she led a global association of approximately 3,700 members and 27 chapters. Under her leadership, SITE increased topline revenue by 160% in three years through diversified revenue streams while expanding membership by more than 70%. She was also recently named the 2026 Marin Bright Legacy Award Recipient for her work with SITE, and her leadership in meetings and events, and was awarded at the 2026 Smart Women in Meetings Awards Gala.
Previously, Gregg served as Chief Revenue Officer for Meeting Professionals International (MPI), where she was responsible for approximately 70% of the organization’s revenue and helped expand global product distribution across Europe, Asia and Latin America. Her career has consistently centered on building international communities, strengthening stakeholder engagement and translating the reach of global networks into tangible value for their members.
“WTCA has an extraordinary foundation — a trusted global brand and a network of Members with deep connections to businesses and communities across nearly 100 countries and territories,” said Annette Gregg, Chief Executive Officer, WTCA. “I see tremendous opportunity to build on that strength — listening to our Members, connecting ideas and opportunities across markets and finding new ways for this network to create meaningful business value. I’m honored to lead WTCA into this next chapter and excited to help strengthen the connections that make international business possible.”
Gregg’s appointment comes as businesses are navigating an increasingly complex global environment, making trusted relationships, market intelligence and direct connections across borders increasingly important. Through its network, events and programming, WTCA brings together business leaders, economic development organizations and WTC businesses to exchange market intelligence, develop cross-border relationships and identify opportunities for trade and investment.
She assumes her CEO responsibilities effective October 5 and will lead WTCA from its recently established global headquarters at One World Trade Center in New York City, working alongside the Association’s headquarters and regional teams serving Members around the world.

World Trade Centers Association Establishes Global Headquarters at One World Trade Center
NEW YORK, NY – October 2, 2026 — World Trade Centers Association® (WTCA®) — an international trade organization connecting more than 300 World Trade Center® (WTC®) locations across nearly 100 countries and territories — today announced the relocation of its global headquarters to One World Trade Center in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, establishing a new home for the Association at one of the world’s most recognized addresses for international business and trade.
The move returns WTCA to the WTC site for the first time in 25 years and marks a significant milestone for an organization founded in New York in 1969. From its new headquarters on the 46th floor of One World Trade Center, WTCA will advance its mission of “Connecting Businesses, Globally.”
The new headquarters reflects both WTCA’s longstanding roots in New York and the increasingly global nature of its work. From its new office, WTCA will continue advancing its mission to help its Members create connections across markets and facilitate opportunities for international trade and investment while creating a global gathering point for its Members, partners and business leaders.
“Returning our global headquarters to One World Trade Center is both a meaningful homecoming and a significant milestone for WTCA and our continued growth as a global organization,” said John E. Drew, Chair of the WTCA Board of Directors. “New York City has been WTCA’s home since our founding more than five decades ago, and today, our global network reaches nearly 100 countries and territories. This new office space gives us a dynamic setting — and a fitting global address — to bring together Members and partners from around the world as we continue building connections that support trade, investment and economic growth.”
WTCA now occupies Suite 46C, a 2,556-square-foot office on the 46th floor of One World Trade Center. The built space includes private offices, a conference room, reception and pantry areas, along with an open workspace that supports day-to-day collaboration. Expansive views of the Hudson River and Midtown Manhattan provide the backdrop for the office designed to serve both WTCA’s New York-based team and the Members, partners and other stakeholders who visit from across the global network.
The new headquarters also strengthens WTCA’s ability to use New York as a convening point for its global Membership, showcasing the city’s importance at the center of global commerce and trade. Through its network, events and programming, WTCA brings together business leaders, economic development organizations and WTC businesses to exchange market intelligence, build cross-border relationships and identify opportunities for trade and investment.
As a tenant, WTCA and its guests will also have access to Well& by Durst, a 25,000-square-foot amenity space on the 64th floor of One World Trade Center. The space includes a sky lobby, café, and 10,000 square feet of flexible meeting, conference and event space, serving as a world-class business and social hub fostering workplace creativity, collaboration, and community. Access to this premium floor expands WTCA’s capacity to host gatherings and international delegations at its new global headquarters.
“The World Trade Centers Association’s decision to establish its global headquarters at One World Trade Center is fitting given the organization’s international reach and mission to advance trade and business connections globally. We look forward to welcoming them to One World Trade Center, an address known around the world,” said Jody Durst, President of The Durst Organization.
One World Trade Center was developed by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and The Durst Organization in a public-private partnership.
“For more than two decades, the Port Authority has invested in rebuilding the World Trade Center as a place that drives economic growth and brings together commerce, culture and community in the heart of Lower Manhattan,” said Jolene Yeats, World Trade Center Director at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. “Welcoming the World Trade Centers Association back to the site of its original headquarters is another exciting step in fulfilling that vision – there's no place more fitting for its mission of building new bridges and creating new connections.”
WTCA’s office relocation comes 25 years after the Association last maintained offices on the 77th floor of the original World Trade Center’s North Tower. While the return carries historical significance, the headquarters office is intended to serve a distinctly forward-looking role — providing WTCA with a permanent global base for an organization whose reach now extends across nearly 100 countries and territories. Together, the network serves as an international ecosystem for commerce, community and connection, helping businesses access new markets and supporting trade and investment across borders.

Over 500 Leaders from Across More Than 50 Countries and Territories Attend 56th Annual World Trade Centers Association Global Business Forum in Philadelphia
NEW YORK, NY – May 12, 2026 – World Trade Centers Association® (WTCA®) — an international trade organization connecting more than 300 World Trade Center® (WTC®) locations across nearly 100 countries and territories — and World Trade Center Greater Philadelphia (WTCGP) successfully concluded the 56th annual WTCA Global Business Forum (GBF), held April 19-22, 2026, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The four-day event marked the Forum’s return to the United States after nearly a decade, convening over 500 attendees representing 116 WTC businesses across 53 countries and territories, including over 200 business delegates, both in person and virtually. Participants included leaders from business, government, academia and international organizations, all attending with the purpose of advancing global trade, investment and collaboration.
Attendees participated in panels, workshops, site visits and networking sessions, with B2B meetings facilitated through the B2Match platform connecting participants with potential partners, investors and distributors. The programming focused on driving practical business outcomes and cross-border connections.
Under the theme “Historic Foundations, Future Collaborations: Cultivating New Business Frontiers,” the Forum addressed practical avenues to build meaningful global partnership in the context of current global economic conditions. Programming featured keynote addresses from Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker; who highlighted Philadelphia’s economic momentum, global connectivity and growing reputation as a city open for international business and investment; Ambassador Xie Feng of the People’s Republic of China, who reinforced the role of trade and dialogue in supporting long-term economic growth and global cooperation; and Former U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Cohen who discussed the current state of global trade and the importance of connection; along with a discussion on how culture drives long-term economic strength with NBA Hall of Famer and entrepreneur Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Pennsylvania State Representative Jordan Harris, and WTCGP President and CEO Thomas Young. During the conversation, Dr. J reflected on how the discipline, resilience and pursuit of excellence found in sports can translate into business leadership, innovation and community impact. Additional sessions covered trade dynamics, investment trends and cross-sector collaboration.
Recent shifts in the global trade landscape, marked by policy changes and uneven market conditions, framed much of the discussion at this year’s Forum. Programming brought companies, investors and trade organizations into the same room to assess experiences, risks and deal opportunities. Conversations centered on practical solutions for access, timing and scalable execution. Across sessions, participants pointed to WTCA’s role as a consistent convening platform where commercial relationships are advanced even as conditions remain unpredictable.
“In today’s climate, meeting in person is essential for fostering authentic connections, and the annual WTCA Global Business Forum opens the conversation to shed light on the reality of the current trade environment — where uncertainty, shifting policies and economic pressures are reshaping how business gets done across borders,” said John E. Drew, Chair of the WTCA Board of Directors. “Through this Forum, the global WTCA network provides a trusted platform for leaders to exchange perspectives, build relationships and move forward with the clarity and confidence they need as they continue advancing their regional economies. This year, we reinforced that global connection and engagement is critical in driving reliable trade, investment and long-term economic growth even in challenging times.”
Philadelphia served as a strong backdrop for this year’s Forum, showcasing its economic strengths across food and agriculture, higher education, life sciences, manufacturing, and innovation and technology. Its strategic location along the Northeast Corridor and established global connections reinforced its vital role as a hub for international business and trade.
“It meant a lot to host the WTCA network here in Philadelphia, especially as the U.S. approaches its 250th anniversary,” said Thomas Young, President and CEO of WTCGP. “There’s a strong sense of history here, but also real momentum. Throughout the Forum, we saw people making connections that go beyond introductions — the kind that lead to business, partnerships and long-term growth. That was happening in B2B meetings, in sessions and in conversations across the city, and it’s exactly what this network is built to support — bringing people together in ways that translate into real economic opportunity.”
Additionally, the WTCA Real Estate Summit returned for its second year, examining global capital flows, investment strategy and development trends, with a macro view on the state of commercial real estate and Philadelphia’s positioning as a competitive investment market. The Forum also marked the launch of the UNIDO-WTCA Blue Economy Global Call 2026, an international open innovation initiative seeking scalable solutions across sectors including blue renewable energy, sustainable food systems, green maritime transport, coastal tourism, ecosystem restoration and blue tech. The initiative introduced a growing area of focus for WTCA and underscored the increasing connection between environmental sustainability, economic opportunity and global business collaboration. Companies, startups and research institutions are invited to apply by June 19, 2026.
Building on the momentum of this year’s Forum, WTCA will continue to support its global network through ongoing programming and partnerships that strengthen international business ties and expand opportunities for members worldwide. The 57th annual WTCA GBF will take place April 4-7, 2027, hosted by World Trade Center Binh Duong New City (WTC BDNC) in Binh Duong New City, Vietnam. Next year’s Forum will underscore Vietnam’s continued rise as a hub for innovation, industry and international connectivity.
