Packed programme and big issues at Parcel+Post Expo in Frankfurt
Innovative technologies, strategic insights, expert analysis and extensive networking opportunities will be just some of the highlights of a packed programme for Parcel+Post Expo in Frankfurt later this month.
Moreover, with the international postal and parcel industry facing rapid changes, dramatic developments and new challenges, participants will certainly use the in-person event to exchange views on how best to respond strategically, commercially and operationally in the months ahead.
CEP-Research is again a media partner for the industry-leading exhibition and conference, which is organised by UKI Media & Events and runs from Tues Oct 18 to Thurs Oct 20 at the Messe Frankfurt trade fair grounds.
Top-level conference
The UPU’s World Leaders Forum on Monday October 17 and the subsequent three-day Parcel+Post Expo conference will feature top executives and senior managers who will discuss a wide range of topics and issues in numerous sessions, workshops and panel debates.
According to UKI, “the Covid-19 pandemic has transformed how we live, work and shop – at least for the time being. The surge in demand for e-commerce has been unprecedented, creating opportunities and challenges for parcel and postal organizations.
“The 2022 conference will look at how the parcel and postal industry is best positioned to meet these challenges, and the ideas, technological innovations and strategies needed to win the race for the last mile.”
