The British Chambers of Commerce are launching a brand new series of events – six topical and interactive webinars, which will explore the new EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement. Businesses trading internationally need support during this time of change. These interactive events will guide businesses in the short term and over the coming months.
As part of our Year of Trade webinar series, we invite you to join us to look further into the understanding of what the new arrangements mean for service providers and businesses reliant on using data, both under the agreement and the potential for an adequacy agreement (with possible legal implications).
Chaired by James Martin, Director of Policy, British Chambers of Commerce our speakers include:
Sally Jones, Partner, EY LLP
Alex Altman, British Chamber of Commerce in Germany
Lyne Biewinga MBA, Executive Director Membership, The Netherlands British Chamber of Commerce
Jenny Hall, Deputy Director International Data Team, Cabinet Office
Additional speaker to be confirmed shortly.
Due to limited places and high demand for the previous event, we advise early booking to avoid disappointment.

A love of the water, a chilled sundowner and a good old natter is what brought Liz and Katie together and has helped shape what Go Paddle is all about. Their paths to getting here have been wildly different but getting to meet new folk and share the pretty awesome Norfolk Broads by paddle is now what they do best.
What to wear
• As a general rule we say to dress for the weather. Quick drying clothes are the best (and avoid cottons/jeans as they can be uncomfortable when wet) If its chilly we have a small selection of wetsuits for hire. If you have your own wetsuit/rash vests – then bring them. • For your feet we suggest old footwear (ideally flip flops) to wear on the riverside.
*We are doing everything we can to bring you this event in June by following government COVID guidelines. However, due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic we may have to cancel this event at short notice if circumstances arise that are out of our control. Please also note that this event will be postponed should we have extremely bad weather conditions which will make this activity unsafe.
