Join us as John Senese and James Wilson present “Automated Supply Chain Document Processing and Visibility: A Modern Solution for Reducing International Trade Paperwork”

Fintech has evolved to address several challenges while creating a beneficial relationship with the customer or supplier. The trading practice of handling paper documents from multiple sources has now been digitized and unlocked to provide additional benefits such as Trade Discounts, Terms Extension, Document Visibility, KYC, ESG, Logistics Support, and Trade Compliance. It is now possible to have nearly immediate access to digital summaries of all relevant information contained within international documents from the moment a shipment leaves the seller’s port or airport until it arrives to its intended destination. This presentation will review the benefits of this new cloud-based technology and how companies can take advantage of its capabilities, often without the need to implement an internal IT project.

Lunch will be provided at the event and menu choices will be taken on the day. The choices for lunch are outlined below.

We look forward to seeing you!

Our BACC Ryder Cup proudly draws its spirit from the celebrated Ryder Cup competition between the US and Europe, a contest steeped in nearly a century of rich history. As we inch closer to this iconic event’s centennial year, we’re inspired to make our own tournament even more memorable.
We’re thrilled to host a diverse group of participants each year, with golfers from across the U.S. and the U.K. joining us. We can’t wait to see this year’s turnout, promising a dynamic blend of competition and networking against the backdrop of this prestigious event.
This year, we’re excited to announce a special hole-in-one contest at the famed hole number 5 (160 yards). Should you achieve this remarkable feat, you will be awarded an extraordinary 7-day/6-night golf vacation for two at the illustrious St Andrew’s and Turnberry. This once-in-a-lifetime experience, valued at $15,000, will allow you to play at the Home of Golf, St Andrews, including green fees, overnight accommodations, daily breakfast, and roundtrip airfare for two. Four of the nights will be spent in the heart of St. Andrews, playing the renowned courses of St. Andrews Old, St. Andrews New, and Carnoustie, host of the 2018 British Open. Your adventure will continue with 2 nights at the deluxe Turnberry Resort, where you’ll have the opportunity to play Turnberry Kintyre and Turnberry Ailsa, the British Open venue and the highest-ranked course in the British Isles. Challenge yourself, and may the best shot win!
The BACC Ryder Cup welcomes everyone from golf veterans to newcomers, offering a thrilling opportunity to connect with international business leaders while enjoying a friendly, competitive atmosphere.
