Event Review

Senior professionals joined Exporta recently at the traditional University Club just off Fifth Avenue for a packed day of presentations.

With supply chain topics, risk mitigation techniques, regional overviews and an expert led legal panel being discussed throughout the day, delegates were kept up-to-date with the latest products and trends.  The audience were forthcoming with plenty of questions for each speaker and the breaks maximised the opportunity to meet and greet.
