A jam-packed program.

The reason: based on advice from an industry expert, the organizer has adjusted the conference and program content. This program is packed with content that visitors want to see. "You can ask visitors for feedback, but what we've done is take that feedback more seriously than ever. That's the only way you can really add value." What hasn't changed is that the event is designed to show visitors the full spectrum of innovations in parcel and mail processing and delivery.

New features

Naturally, the opportunities are more extensive for paying visitors, these will have access to both the expo and the conference. That said, anyone who registers can participate in a rich program.
