ICTSD dialogues are held either in Geneva or regionally. Their purpose is to convene government and civil society to exchange views and information on topics relevant to trade and sustainable development. This process improves overall participation in trade policy formulation and increases coordination of a range of issues and actors, while producing important research and documentation.

Cafe-Croissants are small informal gatherings in Geneva meant to facilitate constructive exchange within the trade and sustainable development policy communities. These meetings are 'off the record' and no proceedings are kept, in order to promote the open flow of ideas.
