Singapore Post will be hosting the conference for the second time in four years and will be looking to discuss the latest trends in global e-commerce alongside a line-up of senior speakers and sponsors that includes Neopost, Aprisa Express, FedEx, Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, One World Express and what3words.
The conference will be exploring contemporary issues in the postal and logistics space such as the growth of e-commerce, its increasing globalisation, complex consumer delivery solutions and the rise of new types of industry competition.

Other key speakers include Charles Brewer, CEO of DHL eCommerce, and Pierre Poignant, COO of Lazada Group.
