Event evolution
The first advisory board session took place in February, where members met online and shared their thoughts on aspects of the upcoming Parcel+Post Expo. Since this initial meeting, the team has been busy working behind the scenes implementing some updates to reflect the feedback that was shared.
Hazel King, editor of Parcel and Postal Technology International, commented, “The advisory board is a great addition to the development of Parcel+Post Expo, providing an opportunity for experts from across the sector to brainstorm ideas that will result in an even more exciting and rewarding event for visitors.
