LONDON, January 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

gtnews has announced that it is now taking bookings for the Global Corporate Treasurers Forum Europe (http://www.gctfe.com). After the success of the inaugural forum in London in 2010, this senior-level conference returns in 2011 to the Ritz Hotel in Paris on 7-8 April.

The Global Corporate Treasurers Forum Europe, organised by gtnews and sponsored by HSBC, gathers together Europe's most senior corporate treasury professionals to discuss the biggest issues confronting corporate treasurers today. Through a unique programme of panel discussions, workshops and keynote presentations, they will arrive at a roadmap for European treasury and prepare themselves, their businesses and their profession for the challenges of the year ahead.

Subjects, speakers and panelists are selected by a steering group of corporate treasurers from across Europe to ensure every element of the event is chosen by treasurers, for treasurers. The programme will be continuously updated to ensure it takes account of the very latest developments in the European economy, trading conditions, legislation and much more.

Treasury professionals, at the level of Assistant Treasurer and above, who book before 14 February can join the Global Corporate Treasurers Forum Europe for just 765 pounds Sterling, including all the main sessions, any two of five interactive workshops, the welcome drinks reception and the gala dinner on a cruise down the Seine.
