WCIT invites businesses and organizations involved in international trade in the Pacific Northwest to participate in our 2024 DC Fly-In.

The fly-in offers a unique chance for business owners, agricultural producers, manufacturers, exporters, importers, and other stakeholders involved in international trade to connect directly with government decision-makers in Congress and the Administration. Attendees will also receive high-level briefings from top experts on global markets. View the full policy agenda here.
