GTR UK 2020 took place virtually on November 3-4, welcoming close to 650 participants from around 300 local and international companies.

This exciting digital gathering combined two full days of in-depth live-streamed and pre-recorded content along with targeted networking through GTR’ dynamic virtual event platform, offering attendees the chance to hear the latest developments from key experts and practitioners on the primary opportunities and challenges faced in the world of UK trade, as well as the opportunity to connect with speakers, sponsors and attendees alike.

The event also featured the ‘New Frontiers’ Export Competition, held in partnership with Export Boot Camp and providing opportunities for companies trading internationally to showcase themselves to the wider trade finance community.
