Federation of Awarding Bodies (FAB)’s Post

Time to reflect on this week's South Yorkshire International Trade Conference. Led by Sheffield Chamber of Commerce with the expertise of Sheffield International Trade Centre-SITC, this years conference saw us host over 135 delegates from across the UK and Europe, all with the common mission of expanding their international trade aspirations. Providing a space for collaboration and knowledge sharing, key discussion points included Brexit and CBAM, customs duties and import taxes, quicker access to export finance, and accelerating growth in international markets, all with an impending change of UK government. As a region, we all agreed it's vitally important that we support the ambitions of our world-renowned manufacturers and exporters, alongside the burgeoning sectors of Ed Tech, Med Tech, and Clean Tech. A joined-up approach from key regional stakeholders is pivotal to providing sustained economic growth through key initiatives such as the Investment Zone. To that end, it was fantastic to have The Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire, Made In Sheffield, British Chambers of Commerce, South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, Doncaster Chamber, and Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce all in attendance offering insight and thoughts. Thank you to all that attended, exhibited, sponsored, presented, and collaborated, making the day the success it was. Here's to 2025 and more importantly, all the work in between. #Internationaltrade #Export #Import

You’ll never truly understand the power of relationships in the association world without attending a conference. We all know that networking is crucial. But do we really get it? Do we truly understand the depth of connections we can forge? What if I told you that the most valuable asset in your association: isn’t your membership numbers Isn’t your budget OK! May be they are. But… It’s also your NETWORK. So, I’m heading to CSAE : Connect in Ottawa from Oct 29th to Nov 1st to dive deep into this world. I’m excited to connect with fellow association professionals, learn new strategies, and share insights from the past few months. What’s the one thing you’re most looking forward to at this year’s conference? #assnchat #assnprof #associations
