BCC International Trade Summit 2019 – London
The British Chambers of Commerce sits at the heart of a unique network of Chamers of Commerce and businesses across the UK. The BCC help businesses to connect, succeed and grow both nationally and internationally. The Annual International Trade Summit is designed to give businesses, whatever stage of the export journey they are at, help to take their business to the next level. The 2019 panel will focus on:
How will changes in Britain’s Trade Policy relationships impact your Business
Brexit, Custom Unions, Free Trade Agreements, Regulation, Market Liberalisation all have an impact for companies trading internationally. We will aim to demystify these terms and assess the implications for business. We will explore how Britain’s future Free Trade Agreements will impact business, the future of Trading Blocs, operating within global Customs Unions and how to spot opportunities as markets liberalise and de-regulate.
The changing nature of global supply chains and the impact on exporters and importers
The current political uncertainty facing the UK is leading to changes in global sourcing and supply chains. This panel will assess how Brexit is impacting exporters and importers and European and global supply chains and how businesses can effectively respond. We will explore how to diversify supply chains to reduce risks, make better use of trade finance in the management of supply chains and benefit from hearing case studies from major global manufacturing businesses who have reconfigured their operations in response to new world trends.
Getting goods across borders at a time of uncertainty
The realities of exporting and importing in the context of the UK’s future trading relationships and the impact on the practicalities of shipping goods across borders. The ‘need-to-knows’ of trade documentation, dealing with tariffs and customs declarations. The impact of e-commerce on buying habits and the shipping of goods. How to create a swift and secure distribution network and consider the impact of technology in the processing of goods.
The BCC International Trade Summit will bring together over 500 new and established UK and overseas businesses, representing a wide range of sectors. The day will consist of inspirational speakers, engaging panel discussions and case studies. There will also be ample opportunities to connect, meet and network.
