Join fellow members, business executives, policymakers, and international trade leaders for World Trade Center Denver's premier annual gathering, an evening that combines strategic insight, meaningful connections, and an important milestone in our organization's history.

Designed specifically for the World Trade Center Denver community, this briefing will offer timely perspectives on international trade, economic trends, and the business environment to help leaders make informed decisions in the year ahead.
Celebrate the Legacy. Connect with the Community. Be part of what's next.
The program will also celebrate the remarkable 16-year leadership of President & CEO Karen Gerwitz, whose vision helped transform World Trade Center Denver into one of the region's leading international business organizations. As we honor Karen's extraordinary legacy, we will also welcome our new President & CEO and the next chapter of World Trade Center Denver.
More than an annual meeting, this is a celebration of the relationships, leadership, and global business community that define World Trade Center Denver. Join us as we celebrate where we've been and chart the path forward together.
