World Trade Center Delaware

Next year… Thailand 2027! 🇹🇭

After an incredible Global Summit of Women 2026 in Istanbul, Dr. Mary Swenson Schreiber is already looking forward to continuing these powerful conversations, relationships, and global opportunities next year in Thailand.

For more than 15 years, she has attended the Global Summit of Women and witnessed the power of women coming together from around the world to build trust, strengthen trade relationships, and create pathways for economic growth.

The 2026 WTCA Global Business Forum may have wrapped up, but the conversations are just getting started!

We were honored to be part of the Women@WTCA Breakfast at this year's Forum, hosted by WTC Greater Philadelphia, a powerful gathering focused on connection, unity, and building a stronger global network for women across the WTCA community.

Our very own Dr. Mary Swenson, President of World Trade Center Delaware took the stage to remind us all: women are the silent giants of the global economy and it's time to rise together. 🌍

The energy in that room was something special. Conversations sparked. Relationships deepened. Community took shape.

And this is just the beginning. Join us for our next Women@WTCA virtual meeting on Wednesday, June 24, from 9:00–10:00 a.m. EDT. It is held in recognition of the International Day of Women in Diplomacy.

Because when women come together, not just to connect, but to support and empower one another and they become each other's strength. 💙

Thank you to Mike Profit, President of SCORE Delaware, for the invitation to attend an amazing Visa & Main conference at the Chase Center on the Riverfront in Wilmington, Delaware.

It was a powerful day of connection, insight, and meaningful conversation around business growth, access to capital, and the resources entrepreneurs need to thrive.

A special congratulations to World Trade Center Delaware Board Member Ayanna Khan-Flowers, Founder and President of the Delaware Black Chamber of Commerce, for serving as a panelist on “Access to Capital: Resources, Relationships & Real Growth.” Your leadership continues to open doors and strengthen opportunities for businesses across Delaware and beyond.

World Trade Center Delaware is proud to support conversations that help businesses grow locally, connect globally, and build lasting impact.

What an incredible week in Philadelphia! The World Trade Center Delaware team had the best time at WTCA's 56th Annual Global Business Forum! Our President Dr. Mary Schreiber Swenson and COO Nesrin Cakiroglu took it all in, from the welcome reception to the gala. Our team got to connect with amazing leaders from around the globe. 🎉

The energy at was unmatched. The conversations, the connections, the collaborations.. Philadelphia showed up and so did this incredible global community!
