Event Review

Exporta's second annual London event for the trade and export finance risk management market took place on November 10-11 at Jury's Great Russell Street Hotel. We attracted 110 delegates to our, as ever, lively debate.

We were delighted to welcome HRH The Duke of York in his capacity as Britain's Special Representative for International Trade and Investment to address attendees on Day One. His office had targeted Exporta's event as a leading trade finance risk gathering for the year.

Building on last year's excellent gathering at One Whitehall Place, we attracted senior level market practitioners in the field of trade and export finance, political and trade credit risk insurance and trade finance law.

In keeping with other Exporta events, this one had an unrivalled mix of corporate, bank, law firm, broker, consultant and insurer speakers.

Maximum opportunity for networking was afforded to delegates, including an evening reception and interactive roundtable discussion.
