Welcome Reception

Kick off the Global Business Forum with an iconic Philadelphia experience at the historic Reading Terminal Market. One of the oldest and most vibrant public markets in the United States, this beloved landmark brings together local flavors, global cuisine, and the unmistakable energy of the city.

Join fellow GBF delegates for an informal evening of networking, conversation, and culinary discovery as you sample bites from a diverse mix of vendors and reconnect with colleagues from across the WTCA network. Set against the lively backdrop of the Market, the Welcome Reception sets the tone for the days ahead—open, dynamic, and rooted in authentic connection.
