This annual Copenhagen Economics event brings together the most inspiring thought-leaders in the world of Postal and Delivery to offer insights on current trends and give their expert analysis on the most pressing issues facing the sector today.
This conference is highly relevant to any industry or business leaders, policy decision makers or organisations with an interest in the postal and delivery sector. In addition to discussing the national and international economics underpinning the sector, as well as contemporary strategy and policy, this year we will focus on two issues of crucial importance:
