About the W·E·D·F
The World Export Development Forum (W•E•D•F) is the flagship event of the International Trade Centre, the joint agency of the World Trade Organization and the United Nations. It is the unique global forum dedicated to innovations in export development and export competitiveness, and to the challenges faced by developing countries and economies in transition.

The event is particularly noted for its pragmatic approach to export development, and to its interactive, debate-style format. It is also recognized for its contribution to global thought leadership, particularly in the area of national export development strategy.

The W•E•D•F brings together senior national and international policy-makers, heads of trade support institutions, representatives of international agencies, and business leaders. The event is designed to accommodate about 220 decision-makers from about 50 countries.

The 2008 edition marked the 10 th anniversary of the W•E•D•F. It was held in Montreux, Switzerland, from October 8 to 11 at the Fairmont Le Montreux Palace Hotel.
