Date: 6 May 2009 | Location: Hilton Munich Park Hotel, Munich, Germany
With technology crucial to the future of the mail and express industries the seminar was a perfect opportunity for a focussed group of CIF’s, CTO’s, IT Directors and Operations Managers to work together in keeping abreast of the latest technological developments.
Overview
With an update report on last year’s PosTech event in Egypt and presentations from major technology organisations on topics such as hybrid delivery, mobile solutions, mail handling and automation, this 3 hour seminar was the perfect way to stay ahead of the competition.

The Technology Seminar is for those who influence the technical strategy and direction of their postal authority. Attended by Chief Executives, Chief Technology Officers, Chief Information Officers, Operations Directors and Senior Project Managers, the seminar comprised a series of presentations, delivered by global leading edge technology companies, in an interactive workshop format.
