About

Go Global KC is the World Trade Center - Kansas City's premier annual event promoting Kansas City's vibrant international trade economy. Don't miss the unique opportunity to meet other local international trade professionals and hear from thought leaders on the importance of engaging global markets. 

Join the World Trade Center - Kansas City on Thursday, September 23, 2021 at  Summit Tech Academy. This year’s theme will focus on global supply chain disruptions, lessons learned, and outlooks for the future. Supply chains have taken a proverbial beating over the past year due to the pandemic, shifting consumer behaviors, the Suez Canal blockage, and more. The program will include hearing from a panel of local small businesses:
  • Ike Nwabuonwu, Chairman & CEO, Alpha Energy and Electric, Inc
  • Jay Kim, CEO and Founder, DataLocker
  • Connie Zack, CSO, Sunlighten
In addition to the program, they will be hosting breakout sessions with World Trade Centers from other countries including Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Gibraltar, Philippines, and Mexico.

Finally, you also won’t want to miss the announcement of the 2021 Economic Development Agency of the Year award and 2021 Service Provider of the Year award.
