A BCR Briefing, sponsored by 3i Infotech 13 November 2009. 10.30 to 13.30 followed by Networking Lunch. Level 35, 25 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5LQ

Supply chain finance has been the new industry buzz phrase in the last couple of years. On the surface, this form of trade finance seems an obvious extension to the traditional factoring model. But just what is supply chain finance and how does it differ from reverse factoring? Why has reverse factoring worked so well and become established in some markets like Spain and only just beginning to take off in other markets such as the UK? What are the best methods for engaging large corporates; overcoming their internal political barriers and assessing varying risk environments along the chain. At this second of four BCR briefings, these and other questions will be addressed by industry experts providing senior factoring delegates with the opportunity to discuss and further their understanding of the true potential for factors in this rapidly developing field. Keynote presentations from Margrith Lütschg-Emmenegger, President, FIMBank and Lionel Taylor Chief Operating Officer, China Export Finance (CEF). Why you should attend the session? 1. An informal opportunity to pose questions to senior keynote speakers. 2. Senior networking with industry peers. 3. Real case study to highlight the steps that can be undertaken and compare against your own strategies.
