About the Event
The Commonwealth Secretariat’s Digital Trade Day (11 September, London) brings together professionals to examine digital trade governance in a changing global order. The event includes a dedicated young lawyers’ panel, “Whose Rules Are They Anyway?”, which explores digital trade, model laws and their implications for the WTO. This forum is essential for trade, treasury and payments professionals seeking to understand how emerging digital trade frameworks and governance models will reshape international commerce and regulatory compliance.
