The Grow Globally Fair PHX, is an original signature event by Global Chamber® Phoenix, and after Covid… it’s back! Grow Globally Fair brings together the global business ecosystem of Metro Phoenix for one inspiring, high-impact event.
Designed to connect leaders, resources, and opportunities, this annual gathering is where businesses go to grow beyond borders and become truly global and UNSTOPPABLE. It was conceived as a way for exporters to connect with all the talented regional resources.
The idea has grown beyond exporting to all aspects of trade including FDI and tourism.
The original event was held at the law offices of the firm Squire Patton Boggs (then Squire Sanders) on the rooftop in Phoenix, Arizona… before the Global Chamber was born.
It was held for years at our first home - Skysong in Scottsdale. And it has also been held at our next home inside Thunderbird School of Global Management… where we still do many events.
This time due to our partnership with Integro Bank and the large number of attendees expected (300+), we moved the venue to Grand Canyon University (GCU) in Phoenix.
Taking place on April 9, 2026 from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM at GCU, the Fair is more than just an event—it’s a unique opportunity to experience all the global resources, all together, one time per year… just down the freeway from the TSMC campus, off I-17 in North Phoenix.
Walk the Floor. Make Connections. Grow Globally.
This year from 4:30 to 5:30 PM, attendees will experience the heart of the event: the Fair itself. With 40+ business tables, participants can explore a wide range of global resources including:
