The Georgetown University Law Center and the Institute of International Economic Law are delighted to announce that the 2025 Global Trade Academy will take place in-person on April 28 – May 2, 2025 at the Georgetown University Law Center and at the law offices of Sidley Austin and King & Spalding. The Academy will meet live in the heart of the nation’s capital, bringing together participants from governments, IGOs, NGOs, and the private sector, and allowing attendees to meet and exchange views with leading experts as well as participants from around the world.
Every year, the Global Trade Academy tackles tough questions by providing participants with a custom-designed program that explores the legal foundations of the global trading system, the role of regional trade agreements, and the evolution of national policies in the face of rapidly changing global priorities and heightened geopolitical rivalries. Through presentations, interactive policy conversations, breakout/networking sessions, a simulation, and a keynote speech, participants will gain insights into the core rules regulating international trade and the most recent developments shaping the global economy, with particular attention to how the trade policies of the Trump administration have redefined approaches to global economic competition and cooperation.
