A key activity of IATTO is the staging of an annual Forum (hosted by a different member country each year) at which members and other interested parties gather to hear about the latest developments in training, education and human resource development in the field of international trade, and to network with counterparts from other countries. Participants also have the opportunity of learning about the host country's trading activities and business environment, and absorbing the local culture.
