Some anticipated highlights from the Innovation Labs:
How OOH is helping brands to reduce shipping costs and improve conversion
Date: September 23
Time: 14:30 – 15:15
Where: Last Mile Hub
There are too many parcels on the ground and each one of them is often a different stop for delivery drivers. Door-to-door is no longer sufficient and efficient enough for modern shippers and customers’ expectations. Out-of-home can help brands overcome last-mile limits and significantly reduce shipping costs. It all starts at checkout, then continues with carriers’ integrations and ends with last-mile execution.
Panelists:
Francesco Tribuni, CEO, FT Last Mile
Kristian Mørk Puggaard, CEO, Tembi
Bas Smeulders, co-founder and COO, Sendcloud
Nicki Rogers, national sales director, InPost UK
Meeting the challenges and exploiting the opportunities of cross-border e-commerce
Date: September 24
Time: 10:00 – 11:15
Where: Smart Logistics Hub
This session examines how cross-border tariffs and non-tariff constraints – such as customs procedures, regulatory differences and border delays – affect global logistics operations. It will highlight recent trade policy changes and outline practical strategies to manage costs, ensure compliance and maintain supply chain efficiency. Participants will gain insights into mitigating risks and navigating complex international trade environments.
Panelists:
Michael Anderson, CEO, Place-B Consultancy
Helen Scurfield, CEO, Asendia Global Returns
Drew Fobbester, founder and CEO, Worldwide Internet of Transit – Alice IOT
Martin Palmer, co-founder and board member, Hurricane Modular Commerce

Ciro Ferrari, head of international mail and parcels, Poste Italiane
Women in logistics: what needs to change?
Date: September 24
Time: 11:30-12:30
Where: Smart Logistics Hub
Getting more women into logistics is only part of the challenge. This panel looks at what it takes to ensure women can stay, progress, influence key decisions and build long-term careers across the industry. Through an open conversation about what is working and where barriers remain, leaders will explore the role businesses, colleagues and the wider industry can play in creating meaningful change. Topics include moving beyond mentoring to sponsorship, opportunity and progression; removing barriers to leadership and influence; the role of male allies and senior leaders in driving change; and building stronger pathways for the next generation of women in logistics.
Panelists:
Hazel King, editor, Parcel and Postal Technology International
Natalia Navin, chief people officer, Pos Malaysia
Tawnee Steinke, VP of products and partnerships, BoxC
Natalia Tomiyama, founder and CEO, Nüwiel
Carolin Pieper, global sales manager, EPG
