Conference Agenda

beyond the letter: the future of post and parcel

Agenda Overview:
WMX Europe 2026 brings together 200+ senior executives from across the global post, parcel and logistics industry for three days of keynotes, panels and networking in Athens. Against the historic backdrop of Greece’s capital city, this year’s program tackles the forces reshaping the industry: regulatory upheaval, sustainability pressures, AI adoption, the OOH revolution, cross-border complexity, and the rise of platform logistics. Expect candid conversation, fresh thinking, and the kind of connections that last well beyond the conference itself.

Neil Jackson | Chief Executive Officer | Triangle Management Services

09.35 // IN CONVERSATION WITH ZONOS

From July 2026, the €150 EU de minimis exemption is gone, replaced by a flat-rate customs duty that will reshape how cross-border parcels are valued, taxed and processed. The ripple effects go far beyond commerce, and the entire cross-border ecosystem is having to adapt fast. Who better to lead that conversation than Zonos, the global experts in cross-border compliance and duty management.

MODERATOR: Kermit McKinney | Strategy & Partnerships | Zonos

10.35 // Networking Break

11.20 // lEADING THROUGH CHANGE: NATIONAL POSTS ON WHAT COMES NEXT

The postal sector is transforming faster ever. Driven by eCommerce growth, shifting consumer demands, declining mail volumes, and an increasingly complex global landscape. Through it all, national postal operators have shown remarkable resilience. In this session, senior leaders from postal operators from across the globe will share their honest read on the industry right now and what they are doing to stay ahead. 

MODERATOR: Patrick Frith | Sr. Director of Growth Cross Border EMEA | Avalara

Charles Brewer | Group CEO | Pos Malaysia

Guy Pacheco | CEO | CTT Correios de Portugal

Martti Kuldma | CEO | Omniva 

12.20 // Networking Buffet Lunch

13.20 // lOCKERS, PUDO, AND BEYOND: THE FULL OOH PICTURE 

Consumer preferences have shifted, locker networks are expanding rapidly across Europe, and OOH has moved firmly from the margins to the mainstream. But the conversation is getting more complex, and more interesting. This panel covers the full OOH landscape: the growth of lockers and PUDO points, the role of OOH in returns, shifting consumer behaviour, and what it takes to turn OOH into a genuine default rather than a backup option. 

MODERATOR: Andre Veskimeister | Founder & CEO | Parcel Locker Central

Panagiotis Kanellopoulos  | Innovation Management | ACS Courier and Postal Services  

Laetitia Arfi | Chief Sales Officer | Asendia

Miha Jagodic | CEO & Co-Founder | Bloq.it

Lefteris Papadimitriou | CEO, Greece | BOX NOW

14.20 // Networking Break

15.05 // NET ZERO, NOW WHAT? THE RACE TO DECARBONISE LOGISTICS

Net zero targets are set. The harder question is how you do you get there operationally, commercially, and credibly. The postal and logistics sector already has one of the largest corporate electric fleets in the world, buildings largely powered by renewable energy and a growing role in the circular economy. This session gets into the detail: regulatory developments, credible fleet decarbonisation, ESG reporting, and whether the case of OOH delivery is as solid as the industry believes.  

MODERATOR: Peter Somers | CEO | AstralEnergy Ecosystem

Margaux Meidinger | Head of European CSR Affairs | Le Groupe La Poste

Volodymyr Masiuk  | Chief of Market Expansion and Franchising | Nova Poshta

Erik de Winter | CCO | ANY

09.00 // Registration, Showcase Exhibition and Networking Opens

10.00 // CROSS-BORDER IN 2026: NAVIGATING THE NEW LANDSCAPE

Cross-border logistics is booming, but the complexity behind it is growing just as fast. Trade flows are shifting, geopolitical disruption has become the norm, and the expectations of businesses and consumers on the other side of every border keep rising. The operators winning in cross-border aren’t just reacting to disruption. They’re building for it. This session gets into what that looks like: the strategies, the hard lessons, and what it takes to build operations that are ready for whatever comes next.

MODERATOR: Michael Anderson | Co-Founder & Managing Consultant | MASS eCommerce Consultancy 

Patrick Frith | Sr. Director of Growth Cross Border EMEA | Avalara

Wim van de Sande | Director of International Network Solutions | PostNL

Patrick Riley | Director eCommerce North America | Livingston International

11.00 // Networking Break

11.45 // FROM PILOT TO PRODUCTION: WHAT REAL AI ADOPTION LOOKS LIKE

Everyone is talking about AI in logistics. Far fewer are actually building it: at scale, inside complex organisations, with real results to show. Each speaker will bring insights from inside their own organisation: what they’ve built, what they’ve learned, and where they think the industry is ahead or falling behind. And they’ll tackle the question that sits beneath all of it – what does it take to move from digitisation to genuine transformation?

MODERATOR: Michael Anderson | Co-Founder & Managing Consultant | MASS eCommerce Consultancy 

Cosimo Birtolo | Head of Artificial Intelligence Hub | Poste Italiane

Matej Raspet | CMO | Pošta Slovenije

Sintija Djakova | Head of People Latvia & Lithuania | Omniva 

12.45 // Networking Break

13.45 // MARKETPLACE DOMINANCE: HOW PLATFORMS are reshaping logistics

Marketplace giants are no longer generating parcel volumes. They’re building their own logistics capabilities, their own carrier networks, and in some cases their own locker infrastructure. This session brings together diverse perspectives to to examine how platforms are evolving their logistics strategies, what successful carrier-platform partnerships look like, what platforms need from their logistics partners, and where the real opportunities lie for operators willing to adapt.

Charles Brewer | Group CEO | Pos Malaysia

Vytautas Atkočaitis | Vice President | Vinted Go

Agamemnon Papazoglou | CEO | Skroutz Last Mile
