Recognised as the biggest gathering of trade finance professionals in the region, the West Africa Trade & Export Finance Conference returned to Lagos February 3-4, 2016.

With over 250 delegates expected in attendance, the conference brought together delegates from the market’s leading corporate, banking and financial services organisations to discuss key market issues within agribusiness, hard commodities, risk mitigation and infrastructural development.

In addition to a speaker line-up of the market’s primary decision-makers and trade finance specialists, the event also featured a number of dedicated networking sessions, allowing attendees to establish new working relationships and re-acquaint themselves with old contacts, all with the prospect of developing business across West Africa.
