July 30, 2025

Now in its 10th year and having firmly established itself as a flagship within the UK trade calendar, GTR UK 2023 will once again bring the trade and export community together to reflect on and consider the latest trends and priorities following a tumultuous past 12 months. The programme will reflect on the challenges of global economic headwinds and supply chain volatility, the enormous opportunities provided by the disruptive implications of digitisation and ESG, whilst also hearing first-hand from corporates operating at the coalface of international trade.

Firmly established as the premier gathering for connecting with the key individuals and organisations at the forefront of both UK and global trade, and with an anticipated attendance of over 550 delegates, this is an event not to be missed. We look forward to welcoming you there!

Event discussion themes include:

  • Is deglobalisation a myth?
  • What does the next frontier of digital look like? Where do we want to get to?
  • Is supply chain finance still fit for purpose?
  • The move towards transition (and how to finance it)
  • Working capital management – responding to global market pressures
  • Basel reforms – moving the dial on a crucial industry debate

Don’t miss this unrivalled opportunity to catch up with old friends and build crucial new market connections at what is set to be an excellent day. Attendees will receive:

» Unparalleled expertise from 70+ speakers
» Exceptional content on topics and regions covered
» 6+ hours of networking opportunities with key stakeholders in the industry

We look forward to seeing you there!
