World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) Board of Directors held its final meeting of 2025 in Istanbul on December 13-14. The two-day event was hosted at the IFM Divan Meeting Rooms within the Istanbul Expo Center.

WTCA board members and senior executives, representing World Trade Centers from different regions across the globe, convened to discuss the current activities of the global trade network, objectives for the upcoming period, and international cooperation opportunities.

As part of the meeting agenda, participants had the opportunity to closely examine the fair, congress, and event infrastructure of World Trade Center Istanbul and Istanbul Expo Center (IFM). The WTC Istanbul's capacity to host major international events and the opportunities offered by Istanbul as a regional trade hub were met with great interest by the attendees.

As World Trade Center Istanbul, we were honored to host the WTCA Board of Directors in Istanbul. We believe this visit served as a valuable gathering to promote both Istanbul and our organization, while strengthening mutual understanding and cooperation.
