Many may have overdosed on policy discussions this week after 4 full days of the WSIS Forum <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/8457>. However this one should not be missed. If yesterday's initial sessions are anything to judge by, with TPP looming, it's going to be a very dynamic discussion. [image: Livestream] <https://livestream.com/internetsociety2/trade/>On *Thursday/Friday May 5-6 2016* the *World Bank <http://blogs.worldbank.org/psd/>* and the *Institute for International Economic Policy <https://www.gwu.edu/~iiep/>* present *The End of Trade as We Know it? <https://www.gwu.edu/~iiep/events/DigitalTrade2016/>* - a conference on global digital trade as well as barriers to cross-border information flows. Also discussed will be the role of trade agreements (such as the *TPP <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Partnership>*) as tools of Internet governance; the domestic and international regulatory environment for information; how to cooperate to encourage cross-border information flows.
