Global Trade Conference returns as part of five-week Chamber campaign

The return of the Chamber 's Global Trade Conference is among the highlights of a month-long Festival of Business, taking place throughout June.

Following the success of the 2020 Global Trade Conference, and the Transatlantic Conferences of 2018 and 2019, the Greater Birmingham Commonwealth and Transatlantic Chambers are hosting another event which will help businesses learn more about new markets and trading internationally.

The conference is part of a five-week Festival of Business campaign, celebrating the business communities that are part of the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce group.

The Festival of Business campaign is being held in lieu of in-person exhibitions being unable to be hosted by the Chamber due to coronavirus restrictions.

As part of the festival, members of the Chambers will be encouraged to attend a number of webinars and virtual networking events being hosted as part of the campaign.

Events will focus on showcasing the benefits of doing business with members of the Chambers and key issues facing member businesses.

The first week of the campaign, starting from 1 June, will focus on Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield and Tamworth Chambers.

Solihull Chamber will be the focus of the second week of the campaign, Burton and Chase Chambers in the third week and Greater Birmingham Commonwealth Chamber and Greater Birmingham Transatlantic Chamber will be the focus of the fourth week of the campaign.

The final week of the campaign will focus on Birmingham Chamber.

Future Faces Chamber and the Asian Business Chamber of Commerce will host a number of fringe events during the campaign.

Mandy Haque (pictured), international director at the Chamber, said: “The Festival of Business is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the benefits of engagement with our divisions to help support business growth in our region.

“From an international perspective our Commonwealth and Transatlantic Chambers are delivering a suite of relevant, content rich events to help you grow your business internationally.

“One of the highlight events is the Global Trade Conference and this year it is shaping up to be a spectacular day with a week of informative sessions as well as forming valuable connections with key business partners to help boost business opportunities.

“With the challenges we have faced, the Festival of Business is the key series of significant events all tailored to support you and your business. ”
