Driving International Trade Conference Set to Return in March 2026

The Driving International Trade Conference is set to return on 26 March 2026, promising a full day of insights, discussions and practical support for UK exporters. The annual event, recognised for bringing together policymakers, industry leaders and high-growth businesses, will once again focus on strengthening the UK’s position on the global stage.

Organisers reflected on last year’s conference, highlighting a standout keynote speech by Baroness Poppy Gustafsson CBE, who at the time served as Minister for Investment. During her address, she outlined the government’s strategy for boosting the UK’s competitiveness and ensuring the country remains one of the best places in the world to start, grow and scale a business. Her vision, organisers say, continues to inspire the themes and conversations planned for the 2026 event.

Next year’s conference will build on that momentum, offering exporters a platform to learn about new opportunities, upcoming policy shifts, and practical tools for scaling internationally. Attendance is free for exporters of goods or services, with sessions designed to support SMEs looking to expand or strengthen their global presence.

The event is supported by Trainline Business, the official Travel Partner, along with ChamberCustoms.

Registration is now open.
