Business leaders will all be gathering together next month for South Yorkshire’s first-ever International Trade Conference.
Jointly organised by the three regional Chambers of Commerce – Doncaster, Sheffield and Barnsley & Rotherham – the conference represents a chance for businesses to forge new connections to help them prosper in the daunting world of International Trade, to learn about upcoming opportunities that are just on the horizon, and to expand their knowledge of best practice in this complicated field.
High-profile speakers will be there to share their insights on a wide array of different topics, including Oliver Coppard, Mayor of South Yorkshire, and Manuel Fantin from UK Export Finance, who will talk about how his organisation supports businesses in going overseas.
Liam Smyth, Director of the British Chambers of Commerce, will give an update on important regulatory changes and how these are going to affect traders in the near future.
Dan Fell, Chief Exec of Doncaster Chamber, said: “International trade is a vital cornerstone of our economy and that’s why, as Chambers of Commerce, we always stress its importance and advocate for any members who want to explore the opportunities available to them in this lucrative field.
“With that said, we are incredibly excited to debut our International Trade Conference. By pooling together the collective resources and expertise of all three regional Chamber networks, this event will be an in-depth exploration. Delegates will be able to deepen their knowledge on this critical subject, better understand its various nuances, and establish lasting relationships that will help them represent Brand South Yorkshire on a global stage.
“Whether you are a start-up looking to take their first steps into exporting and importing, or an established international trader that just wants to increase their prospects, there’s bound to be something here that’s relevant to you.”
The South Yorkshire International Trade Conference will be held at the OEC Sheffield on Wednesday 15th November and is being sponsored by UK Export Finance and RM Boulanger.
