What Does AETI Cover?
AETI seminars cover international payment terms, sales and marketing issues, logistics in coordination with finance, financing methods, credit evaluation, and risk mitigation, all from the perspective of a practitioner. Our staff are experienced hands-on professionals, not academics or salespeople.
For the novice, attending an AETI seminar will open up a world of trade techniques, tools, and decision criteria.
An experienced exporter or banker will learn new tricks, and new ways to take advantage of traditional ways of doing business.

How are AETI Seminars Conducted?

Why AETI?
AETI is not a bank or financial institution with a product to sell. Our goal is to provide unbiased information to participants so they become more knowledgeable users of trade finance products.
