Organisers UKI Media & Events said: “We are excited to announce that Parcel+Post Expo 2021 will take place in-person and online as a hybrid event, to allow attendees to attend live in Vienna, or to watch elements of the event from the comfort of their office or home environment.

With a unique combination of exhibition, access to innovative technologies, live conferences and networking, Parcel+Post Expo 2021 Hybrid will have a wider global reach than any previous event!”
