Plenary and breakout sessions will take place on Thursday, September 10, and Friday, September 11, including live question-and-answer opportunities. At the conclusion of the conference, attendees will have access to recordings of all sessions.
Throughout the event, attendees will hear from distinguished speakers representing the business, academic, media, and government sectors. In addition to EXIM President and Chairman Kimberly A. Reed, speakers confirmed for the conference include:
- Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary of Commerce.
- Robert C. O’Brien, National Security Advisor.

We remain committed to the theme of EXIM’s 2020 Annual Conference – Keeping America Strong: Empowering U.S. Businesses and Workers to Compete Globally – and look forward to working with all of you to accomplish this goal.
“The EXIM Annual Conference is the premier event for American companies to hear from high-level speakers and network with peers, EXIM staff, and potential buyers,” said Chairman Reed. “We remain committed to the theme of EXIM’s 2020 Annual Conference — Keeping America Strong: Empowering U.S. Businesses and Workers. We look forward to helping businesses of all sizes learn about EXIM’s product enhancements and new tools that will help them export their ‘Made in the USA’ goods and services around the world.”
In conjunction with the virtual format, EXIM is incorporating a small-business track to provide additional information and more sessions designed for small and medium-sized companies, both current and potential exporters, to learn how EXIM financial products can support their international sales. In addition, a mobile app will foster networking opportunities by allowing attendees to connect directly with EXIM staff and other attendees.
