Participants will also survey the current economic environment and explore how the postal sector’s use of innovation can ensure its future success.
Day Two will focus on the need for effective policy and regulation to keep the postal sector as relevant as ever in the 21st century and strengthen its capacity for social, financial and economic inclusion.
