8th Annual Innovations in Trade & Export Finance

8th Annual Innovations in Trade & Export Finance Conference

Description

Exporta returns to New York once again to explore and reassess the continuing transformation of global trade dynamics and its impact on the North American markets. Now considered the primary event of its kind in the region, the 8th Annual Innovations in Trade & Export Finance Conference will act as a key meeting point for those tasked with confronting the global financial crisis through discussion and real life case studies from leading industry specialists.

Topics to be covered:

• Analyzing the impact of volatile global markets on North American trade flows
• How are corporates navigating current regional and global challenges?
• Assessing intra-regional trade across the Americas
• How much risk are trade financiers currently prepared to take?
• The role of export finance and ECAs in providing essential liquidity for North American exports
• What support mechanisms are available for SMEs?
• Tracking innovations in trade finance solutions
• Examining developments within Asia-Americas trade flows
• Basel III: Why will clients have to pay more for access to cash?
• Accelerating the creation of trade documents for faster payment
• ePresentation: A game changer in Trade Finance
• Case study: What opportunities does Africa hold as an export destination?


Still very much at the forefront of international commerce, North America is continuing to develop its trade flows with emerging markets and is ideally placed to capitalise on both newly established and traditional trade relationships. The conference will examine the latest trade finance developments, with contemporary insight into the hottest topics including, amongst others, establishing corporate priorities and future objectives, export and agency finance development, innovations in supply chain finance, opportunities for trade in Asia, risk mitigation for financiers and traders, Basel III and current risk appetite for trade finance.

With attendance expected to reach record levels, we look forward to welcoming prominent internal actors from the industry’s premier institutions and providers, with last year’s delegation including attendees from the UK, UAE, Brazil, France, the Netherlands, Canada, Belgium, Ghana, Bolivia, Malta, Russia and Hong Kong. As with all Exporta events, numerous networking opportunities will be provided throughout the day to connect with new business contacts, old friends and industry peers.
