COPENHAGEN ECONOMICS POSTAL & DELIVERY CONFERENCE 2021

We are pleased to invite you to this year’s Postal & Delivery conference 11 May 2021

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:

  • Sustainability in postal and delivery
    A deep dive into the business case for sustainability for postal and delivery operators, the emerging challenges and opportunities and the role of postal policy/regulation.
  • Long-term view on the postal sector and relevant public policies
    What does the future really hold for postal and delivery operators? How will the universal service obligation impact this? Respected panellists will debate such questions as well as examining the future of postal regulation and regulators over the coming 5 to 10 years.
