The UK's leading global trade event from the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade returns this November, now as the Empowering Global Trade Conference.
Building on the success of past Import Export Shows, our new, expanded conference promises even more strategic insights, practical workshops and essential connections. The soon-to-be-released agenda has been tailored to help businesses build resilience, navigate uncertainty and secure growth in the increasingly regulated and uncertain trading environment.
As always, you can expect a programme that bridges boardroom strategy with operational know‑how. You’ll leave with the latest policy‑aligned guidance for 2027 planning, alongside practical compliance knowledge and invaluable connections to help you put strategy into action.
Whether you're shaping trade strategy or managing day-to-day compliance, join us for essential networking and learning that will give you and your business a competitive edge.
Alongside a packed agenda, you'll enjoy networking coffee breaks and a complimentary lunch.
