Phoenix Global Forum

Phoenix Sister Cities and the International Economic Forum of the Americas (IEFA) will be “Forging the Future” at the Phoenix Global Forum (PGF) April 8 and 9, 2025, at the Phoenix Convention Center. Join hundreds of business and community leaders from around the globe and engage in critical dialogue about AI, quantum computing, sourcing critical minerals, the future of USMCA, electric and autonomous mobility, the space economy, biotech and more.

Last year, Phoenix joined the IEFA’s distinguished family of annual international conferences: Montreal, Toronto, Paris, Miami and Buenos Aires. Our goal is to foster dialogue around the many issues associated with globalization and the knowledge required to realize long-term sustainable growth. For our first event, PGF welcomed speakers including Emilio Cadena – Prodensa, Laurent Germain – Egis, Brian Tobin – BMO Financial Group, Judy Marks – Otis Worldwide Corporation, Reta Jo Lewis – EXIM Bank, Barbara Humpton – Siemens Corporation, among many others. You may view recordings of the 2024 panels on YouTube. In addition to the attendees in Phoenix, more than 1000 participants streamed the event live online. We also arranged 21 bilateral meetings between conference partners.
