The Export/Import Conference takes place on October 27, 2022, at Technorama in Winterthur

Venue 2021: Changing Framework Conditions

2021 was already a year of rapid changes that hit companies at incredible speed. The Export/Import Conference addressed these changes and provided insights into future scenarios. During a virtual journey around the world, various locations of global trade were compared and contrasted at the conference. Live connections to experts around the globe were made. The discussions focused on geopolitical power struggles, increasing protectionism, the global shortage of drivers, and the congestion at globally important ports that led to stagnation in global trade. The example of Masterpiece International and Swiss World Cargo vividly illustrated how quick and flexible adaptation to new circumstances brought market advantages. The dramatic explosion of freight costs – up to tenfold – repeatedly came into focus during discussions, alongside numerous innovations in export, import, and customs due to Brexit, new free trade agreements, and new customs laws, as well as the realignment of customs administration.
Experts like Markus Schlagenhof (Ambassador and Delegate of the Federal Council for Trade Agreements) and representatives from customs provided professional news from the first source.Voices of previous participants

2022 and 2023: Positively Facing New Challenges

It has probably become clear to everyone that the Swiss economy is closely intertwined with foreign countries. Meanwhile, the framework conditions in the international environment continue to change rapidly. Topics such as compliance, diversity, sustainability, and digitalization not only pose demands but also offer opportunities for growth and a better future. To get the best out of their own company, existing processes and workflows must be refined. Therefore, this year’s conference is deliberately themed “New Rules, New Chances.” Current issues surrounding international trade will be addressed and examined. Exclusive insights into the foreign trade organization of internationally active companies, as well as expert contributions from several specialists, will help participants cope with all the changes. Individuals who already have tasks in strategic or operational customs and export processing particularly benefit: By participating annually, they have the unique opportunity to keep their expertise up-to-date or refresh it purposefully. This year (2022), Technorama provides an extraordinary setting for the event, making it an unforgettable experience. The day ticket for visiting the exhibition is included in the conference fee.
