Maryland Global Gala

The World Trade Center Institute kicked off its 30th year with its annual event that celebrated Maryland’s involvement in global commerce and causes.

Guests first attended one of two learning sessions, and then congregated to network and exchange ideas…

…while being treated to a variety of cultural performances…

…and getting to enjoy a number of international cuisines served up by local eateries.
