The Polish Factors Association cordially invites you to participate in the 16th International Factoring Congress. This year’s event will be dedicated to analyzing the economic situation in Poland, Europe, and globally, and discussing the prospects for trade finance in a dynamically changing business environment. Leading domestic and international experts will shed new light on key challenges facing the market, summarize opportunities and trends in receivables financing, and introduce participants to the latest solutions and innovations in this field.
We cordially invite you!
The International Factoring Congress is undoubtedly the most important conference event in the trade finance industry. For years, we have shared experiences, exchanged opinions, and analyzed opportunities for the further development of factoring in Poland and globally. Over the past 15 editions, we have gained a large and loyal audience and supporters. Renowned experts in economics, management, and finance have always participated in the proceedings.
This year’s Congress will be dedicated to discussing broadly understood cooperation, from intergenerational, intersectoral, and international perspectives. First, we will be introduced to economic issues by the renowned analyst and economist, Marek Zuber. Then, Paweł Musiałowski, an expert at Brian Tracy International, will present the challenges related to the former. Managers from both industries will discuss the opportunities arising from effective cooperation between factors and insurers in a panel discussion. Mark Brzezinski, a diplomat and former US ambassador to Poland, will present the opportunities arising from US-Polish relations.
I cordially invite you to participate in this year’s Factoring Congress!
