An updated conference program featuring over 40 new speakers has just been released for this year’s Parcel+Post Expo Conference! The conference takes place October 1, 2, and 3, 2019, at the RAI Amsterdam.
New speakers include Frank van Os, CCO and co-founder, Smartmile, who will reveal his company’s new cloud-based software platform – Smartmile – which connects automated parcel terminals to any online buyer, courier or retailer. The software platform creates an open and shared urban delivery ecosystem that is more efficient, convenient and sustainable.

Matthew Furneaux, head of strategy and innovation, Loqate, a GBG solution, will talk at the Addressing session about how aggregating multiple data sources and addressing types using a unique ‘Persistent Data Hierarchy’ delivers an incredible experience to users of addressing systems.

He will explain and illustrate current issues in the addressing of letters and parcels, giving particular attention to items originating from Asia, where language and cultural differences result in incredibly low read rates.
