Idea Lab
Following a hugely successful event last year, TXFs second instalment of the Trade Finance,
Supply Chain and Working Capital Optimisation conference is back with more topics,
more ideas and more guests.
The high-level, international Trade & Treasury event represents an opportunity to network
with peers, share best practice with the industry, and learn from our experienced line-up of
speakers and participants.
Relationship
Building
Networking sessions ranging
from casual business
development, cocktails
and one-to-one discussion,
through to behind closed door
meetings.
The event features a range of themes, from the changing trade landscape and rise of
accounts receivable financing, to the increasing use of digitisation in trade instruments,
streamlined business processes and disruptive technologies. For corporates, it also offers
the opportunity to explore ways of unlocking liquidity in the financial supply chain and
improve cash flow.
Guests will have ample opportunities to network with fellow industry professionals and take
part in an engaging financial value chain simulation.
If you would like more information on the agenda, would like to participate in the
programme, or would like to reserve your place, please email: [email protected]
Commitment to the sector
We want to push this industry forward. We will
personally play an active role in compering
content, moderating discussions, introducing
you to people and simply making sure you have
a good time.
A relaxed, trusting and collegiate setting, makes
for more open and honest debate and that
is what drives real lasting change it is that
simple.
No two guests are the same
TXF events encourage discussion by hosting
smaller sessions, with a more focused audience.
Not everyone is interested in the same topics,
so why does everyone need to be in the same
room?

Transition
towards
paperless trade
The corporate debate:
Understanding the
needs of treasurers
and procurement
officers
The reality of modern
business means that
the aims of treasurers and
procurement officers are not
always automatically and
perfectly aligned. In this session,
treasurers and procurement
officers state their respective
needs and then discuss the
ways in which they complement
and compete with each
other. How do we understand
this interplay and how can
supply chain finance bridge
the gap? What are the key
aims of treasury and how do
these relate to those of the
procurement officers and the
complex network of suppliers
they are managing? What does
this mean for a bank or platform
provider hoping to implement a
SCF programme?
We explore best
practice trends in
digitization and
automation, from the BPO
and electronic letters of
credit, to electronic Bills of
Lading (eBL). This session
features a case study
from Cargill, who recently
teamed with Bolero to
accelerate their drive towards
ePresentation and cloudbased technologies.
What benefits does
this transition offer and
what are the challenges?
Going forward, can these
innovations drive significant
enough savings to continue
to make trade profitable?

Editor-in-Chief,

conference.
Integrating physical
and financial supply
chains
A strong integration of
physical and financial supply
chains promises much, from
freeing up working capital to
reducing costs. What is the role of
banks and independent vendors in
achieving this goal? Does unifying
physical and financial supply chains
entail making all processes electronic
and automated? How can supply
chain finance products facilitate
supply chain integration? What are
the advantages to suppliers, as well
as buyers, of an integrated supply
chain?
An economists guide
to global trade
flows
An overview of the global
trade landscape, focusing
on key trade flows and
destinations. What are the key
areas where trade is growing?
What are the key trends in terms
of this growth such as SouthSouth trade and what is driving
them? What are the barriers to
further growth and how do we
overcome these? What are the
markets that are struggling and
how do we mitigate against risk in
these markets?
What are they key sectors and
who are the key players?
Rebecca Harding, CEO, Delta
Economics
Trade Facilitation:
Creating the
right business
environment for
corporates
What is needed to
create an environment most
conducive to the business
interest of corporates? How can
corporates access knowledge,
connections, expertise and
finance as part of one portal
that makes it as easy as
possible for them to export?
What are the supply chain
barriers currently taking up too
much time and resources and
what can be done about these?
WORKSHOP:
Reversing the
trend: what will
the factoring
solutions of the
future look like?
Is accounts receivable
financing the most efficient
way for suppliers to access
liquidity? What are the
advantages of a buyer-led
reverse-factoring solution? In
what ways are factors, from
banks to specialised firms,
innovating the product?
Should corporates only
consider non-recourse
solutions? Will factoring
products change in light of
SCF developments?
WORKSHOP:
SEPAs
challenges &
benefits
The Single Euro
Payments Area
(SEPA) is now at adoption
phase, yet many businesses
remain unsure what it means
for them. What do corporates
need to know about SEPA
and whom exactly does it
apply to? What are the easiest
ways to migrate to SEPA
functionality and what benefits
on investment does it provide?
What are the minimum
regulatory requirements?
