Do not miss the celebration of our 10th anniversary!

In difficult times and for new markets the demand for letters of credit increases. ICC Austria’s Global Conference on Letters of Credit has been discussing the latest trends, challenges and advantages of handling LCs for 10 years now. We see the steady increase of participants over the last years as an encouragement and evidence of our success. Do not miss this excellent opportunity to get insight from your peers in other countries as well as from the experts responsible for drafting the opinions and/or revision of the rules itself. 

Next to our celebration, we will discuss current topics such as LC in Islamic Banking, the rise of RMB LCs, country issue: Iran, old ICC Opinions that are not included in the ISBP, Basel IV: everything you need to know about the new proposal,  update on BPO: the client/bank recommendation by ICC and many more.

 >> CDCS® and CSDG® holders attending will earn 12 PDUs towards recertification.
