How does it work?
The IPC Annual Conference is a two-day event that goes along with the IPC Board Meeting and the Shareholders’ Annual General Meeting (AGM). On the first day, the Annual conference starts with a welcome dinner by the hosting post and is followed by the Annual Conference on the second day, where external guest speakers can debate on topics surrounding the postal industry.
IPC Annual Conference themes range from e-commerce, sustainability and SMEs, to direct mail and data marketing. Content is also derived from IPC’s own research on leading topics. The conference theme is agreed upon by the IPC
Board, two years in advance. Attendance at this high-level conference is by invitation only, and can only be attended by postal CEOs accompanied by up to two senior executives. The Annual Conference features high-level speakers from the academic world, industry leaders, e-retailers and posts.
