"The Secrets of Successful Trade Financing"

Here is a special opportunity to learn more about global trade and finance. This interactive one-day seminar provides indispensable tools, techniques, and practical knowledge for export financing.

During this unique workshop, attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how to really use financing tools such as letters of credit and government resources; offer competitive terms and yet receive payment upon shipment; protect balance sheets from the risks of international trade; and identify creditworthy prospects. Chip Thomas, a global trade and banking expert, will lead the program.

Who should attend? Anyone responsible for export decisions: CEOs, CFOs, International Sales and Marketing executives, Export Managers, Controllers, Accountants, Finance Officers, and Credit Managers.
