ICC Academy’s 6th Supply Chain Finance, 3-4 May 2017, London

The ITFA Board is pleased to announce that following its recent agreement entered into with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Academy, ITFA has managed to obtain 2 registrations at 50% discount for its ITFA members, to attend ICC Academy’s 6th Supply Chain Finance Summit which is being held between 3-4 May 2017 at Thomson Reuters Auditorium, Canary Wharf, London. In addition, all other registrations are available to ITFA members at a 20% discount.

In order to register and benefit from the ITFA discounts please send an email on alexiavella@itfa.org. As always, the 2 registrations at 50% discount will be available to 2 different ITFA member institutions on a first come first serve basis. Please bear in mind that such offers are eligible for new bookings only.

In its sixth edition, and for the first time in London, the Summit will provide a unique opportunity to learn from experienced corporations and bankers about their visions and strategies in the new area of supply chain finance. One can expect insight and commentary on a wide range of issues: streamlining of trade finance operations, the changing landscape from the BPO perspective, the impact of the regulatory environment, dealing with logistical hurdles, and more.

The agenda will be carefully designed to address topics that are globally important from APAC region’s perspective. While the first day will give a comprehensive overview on the emerging issues, the second day will be more focused on challenges in Europe. The Summit consists of a mix of panel discussions, presentations, and case studies.

Highlights of the event include a presentation of the latest ICC Academy certificate on Export and Import that serves as another example of the ICC Academy’s efforts to reduce the industry’s information and knowledge gap. Another important component of the event will be the release of findings of the latest developments around standard definitions for supply chain finance, and updates from the ICC Banking Commission.

In addition to the formal sessions, this Summit will also be a valuable platform for informal dialogue among the fellow delegates and experts to share ideas and experiences and enjoy good networking.

As always, we do hope that our members make the most of the additional benefits that ITFA is bringing to them through such collaborations.
