Packaging as ‘driver’ for e-commerce: the 1st International Conference on Web Retail Packaging
Web Retail Packaging (WRP) is the packaging of products ordered online or in a shop and delivered directly to the consumer at home or through a pick-up point. WRP is an essential factor in the further responsible and rapid growth of e-commerce, especially with regard to physical products.
On Tuesday November 28, 2017 the 1st International Conference on Web Retail Packaging will take place from 2 to 5 pm at the Juliana Conference Auditorium of the Royal Jaarbeurs venue.
The WRP2017 conference connects retailers, FMCG producers, providers of logistics services and packaging as well as business education, training and research institutes. WRP2017 will address the critical areas for success and provides a unique platform to exchange insights on all aspects of the Web Retail Packaging developments worldwide. The programme consists of thought-provoking plenary lectures as well as highly interactive panel debate.
