Financed Exports SummitPowered by ACESSI
Container ship carrying export cargo

Finance the buyer. Close the export.

2026 editions two East Coast, one West Coast

Your product is ready. The question is how your buyer pays for it.

A working session for U.S. manufacturers, technology companies, EPC contractors and service exporters on structuring finance for the overseas buyer, with the lenders and insurers who take that risk.

Apply to attend Request the sponsor prospectus

Designed to remain free for approved exporters, supported by sponsors. Places are limited and allocated by application.

One room, one side of the table.

Most trade events put exporters, buyers, banks and promoters in the same hall and leave everyone to find each other. This one does not. Each U.S. edition is built for American exporters and the capital that supports them, so the conversation starts at the transaction rather than at the introduction.

Sessions run on live files. Bring a deal that stalled, a buyer whose country limit is full, or a bank that said no, and leave with a route or a clear reason there isn't one.

Who these editions are for

  • Manufacturers and equipment makersSelling capital goods where the buyer needs terms longer than your balance sheet can carry.
  • EPC and engineering contractorsBidding overseas projects where financing is part of the tender.
  • Technology and services exportersMulti-year contracts, licensing and maintenance revenue across borders.
  • Distributors and trading companiesMoving U.S.-origin goods into markets where payment risk decides the sale.

Export finance moves on agency policy cycles and country limits, not on an annual calendar. June and autumn editions let the same exporters come back with a file that has moved since the last time, which is where the useful conversations happen.

What gets covered

No keynotes about the future of trade. Working sessions on the instruments that decide whether a sale closes.

  • Buyer credit and medium-term coverHow an overseas buyer gets five to ten year terms on U.S. equipment, and what disqualifies a transaction before it starts.
  • U.S. content and eligibilityWhere content rules bite, how to structure around them, and what documentation survives review.
  • Working capital against export ordersBorrowing base, guarantees and the gap between a purchase order and a shipment.
  • Credit insurance and receivablesShort-term cover, discounting insured paper, and choosing between private market and agency support.
  • When the answer is noReading a decline, what can be fixed in the financials, and which transactions are worth re-submitting.
  • Reporting that a lender acceptsConverting buyer financials into a format a credit committee can underwrite.

Sectors we build sessions around

Each edition runs three of these in depth rather than all twelve.

Sit down with our team on your own transaction.

Every edition reserves private thirty-minute slots through the day. You bring one transaction. We look at the buyer, the country, the tenor and the structure, and tell you which route is open and what it will take.

Slots are limited and booked in advance. They are free and there is no obligation on either side afterwards.

  • BringBuyer name and country, what you are selling, order value, terms you have been asked for, and any bank response so far.
  • Leave withA view on which instrument fits, what is missing from the file, and a realistic timeline.

Speakers

Each edition runs on practitioners rather than a celebrity keynote: export lenders, credit insurers, agency officers and exporters who have closed the kind of transaction the room is working on.

The 2026 line-up is confirmed edition by edition and published here as it is set. If you work in export finance and want to take a session, tell us which one.

Sponsors

Sponsor support is what keeps the room free for approved exporters. Confirmed sponsors appear here for each edition once agreements are signed.

Packages cover sector roundtables, clinic co-hosting, delegate introductions and speaking roles.

Registration closes Tuesday 10 November 2026. Free to attend.

Apply to attend

There is no ticket price for approved exporters. Places are allocated by application because the room only works if everyone in it has something real in front of them. Tell us what you export and where, and we will confirm within three working days.

Applications close: Washington, Mon 14 Sep. San Diego, Fri 18 Sep. Rochester, Fri 2 Oct.

Priority goes to companies with an active or recently declined export transaction.

Submit a transaction

If you would rather not wait for an edition, send the transaction now. This is also how clinic slots are allocated, so a submission puts you at the front of the queue for the next city.

We do not share what you send with sponsors. Describe the transaction in outline only. Do not send contracts, account numbers or personal financial information through this form.

Already been declined?

Send it anyway. A decline from one lender is a data point, not a verdict, and a large share of what we work on arrived that way.

We reply to every submission, including the ones we cannot help with. An outline is enough at this stage.

Chambers, associations and trade offices

If you represent exporters, we will build a session for your members and run it with you. Tell us the membership, the markets they sell into, and whether you want it in person or online.

ACESSI is an independent advisory firm. Sessions run with partner organisations are collaborations and do not imply endorsement by any government agency.

Hear about the next one first.

Dates, venues and application windows go to this list before they go anywhere else, along with changes in agency policy and country limits that affect what gets financed.

About one email a month. No sharing with sponsors, and one click to stop.
