Early Bird Discount Now Available for the European Treasury Event of the Year

LONDON, January 19, 2011 - gtnews has announced that it is now taking bookings for the Global
Corporate Treasurers Forum Europe (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. For more information on the agenda, and to
