As a proud Media Partner of this event, TTP was delighted to support a platform that brought together industry leaders to exchange knowledge and explore the future of bank guarantees.

Thank you to the organising team at ICC Austria for putting on a valuable event. 

Sincere appreciation to our Sherlocks and Moriarty’s for helping solve 26 trade finance cases at Case Studies Day 2026. 

No magnifying glass was left unused. And no rulebook was left unopened. This is exactly how the navigation of documentary trade finance looks like, and we enjoyed the investigations into sanctions, URDG and UCP rules, and Incoterms.

Bank guarantees sit where legal certainty, commercial pressure and real world risk meet.

Day 2 of the 21st Global Conference on Bank Guarantees in Vienna focused on how the market is responding to that reality, from sanctions and regulatory updates to ICC Banking Commission Opinions, green guarantees and the growing importance of corporate perspectives.

The conversations reflected a guarantee landscape that is no longer just about documents and rules, but about trust, enforceability and practical risk management across increasingly complex markets.

Day 1 at the 21st Global Conference on Bank Guarantees brought the global guarantee community together in Vienna for timely discussions on one of the most critical instruments in international trade.

Bank guarantees remain central to managing risk, securing performance and enabling trust between counterparties across borders. As market conditions, regulatory expectations and dispute risks continue to evolve, industry dialogue around guarantees has never been more important.

TTP is proud to support this year’s conference as a media partner, with thanks to ICC Austria for convening a strong community of experts, practitioners and participants.

A special thank you to the speakers, moderators and contributors helping shape the discussions, including Murat Ayik, Neil Chantry, Izabela Czepirska, PhD, Barbara Dorner, Vera Economou, Dr. Ahmed Hadidi, Mostafa El-Toweiry, Zeynep Ersamut, Bjoern Hertzer, Amelie Huber-Starlinger, Stephanie Powell, Glenn Ransier, Judith Schmalnauer, Christina Elisabeth Seierup, Lorna Strong, Mireille Troosters and Martin Wolfbauer.

We also recognise the support of EBRD Trade Facilitation Programme and LIBF, and the engagement of all participants helping make Vienna once again a meeting point for the global guarantee community.
