The Global Trade Finance Expo takes place on 8 October 2026 at the Fairmont Hotel in the UAE. The expo brings together senior professionals from trade finance, banking, logistics, export credit, and financial services to examine developments in cross-border trade, financing structures, and risk management.
The agenda features keynote sessions, panel discussions, roundtables, and structured one-to-one meetings focused on trade finance instruments, supply chain finance, documentary credits, regulatory frameworks, digitisation of trade processes, and emerging markets. Discussions address operational challenges, regulatory compliance, and technology adoption across trade finance operations.
The expo attracts executives from banks, export credit agencies, trade finance providers, corporates, insurers, and technology vendors seeking informed discussion, peer exchange, and business development opportunities. Hosted in the UAE's established trade and financial hub, the event provides a focused environment for professional dialogue and relationship building.
