E-commerce in Asia, the challenges of cross-border fulfilment and last-mile delivery will be among the key topics under discussion at this week’s Last Mile Fulfilment Asia 2016 event in Singapore.
Themed ‘eCommerce Beyond Borders’, the conference and exhibition at the Singapore EXPO running March 3-4, will be bigger than 2015, with the introduction of four new pavilions, pre-conference activities and more focused sessions. CEP-Research is a media partner for the event.
Exhibitors from South-East Asia and the wider Asia Pacific region as well as international players include logistics and delivery firms such as Airpak Express, DHL eCommerce, DPEX Worldwide, Kerry Express, Pos Logistics (Indonesia), Singapore Post, Skynet Worldwide and Yamato Asia.
The exhibition also features products and services from retail brands worldwide, international eCommerce marketplace operators, integrated warehouse, fleet and payment management solutions, as well as the latest in fulfilment technologies by leading regional and domestic players.
The two-day conference with over 70 speakers includes diverse presentations and discussions on cross-border e-commerce fulfilment featuring top managers from logistics and delivery companies, as well as on technology and innovations, and numerous other topics. There are also special sessions focusing on individual countries in South-East Asia as well as China and India.
One of the new pre-event activities this year is the government session which will allow industry players to have direct access to representatives from local governments in the region, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam. Participants will better understand what each country has to offer in terms of logistics, technology and grants.
Another activity is a visit to the state-of-the-art DHL Innovation Centre in Singapore.
“LMFAsia 2016 participants will be able to deep dive into the topic of cross-border eCommerce, with the event serving as a platform for participants to discuss key issues faced by the last mile fulfilment industry, and creating greater opportunities for players to explore and address challenges and solutions, while growing opportunities for eCommerce fulfilment in Asia and beyond,” said Lee Jeong Hoon, Project Director, Last Mile Fulfilment Asia (LMFAsia) & Assistant Director, Business Development, SingEx Exhibition Ventures Pte Ltd.
