2014 edition Post Event Testimonials

The Courier & Postal Services Forum was a good opportunity to consolidate our relationship with the industry, meet new people and find old acquaintances. The event facilitated a constructive exchange of ideas, as well as sharing views on the latest tendencies in the market. It was wonderful to see all that energy and willingness to innovate, it gave me great hope for the future of the postal sector in Romania. I am looking forward to the 2015 edition of the event.

Catalin MARINESCU, President – ANCOM


Courier & Postal Services Forum 2014 did an extraordinary thing: to bring almost everyone involved in this market - competitors, customers, suppliers, authorities. The professionalism and openness shown by people with valuable business experience have made me and my colleagues participating in this event to be a very interesting, productive and enjoyable experience. I appreciate your initiative and I wish to see you again next year

Dorin FIRUTI, General Manager – Romkuvert IND SRL


The “Courier and Postal Services Forum 2014” was a fine initiative that we are very proud to have partnered with. Taking into account the development of the e-commerce sector, the Romanian courier market faces a series of opportunities that we should understand properly so as to make the most of, businesswise. The event has been a very interesting one, as it helped those present gain perspective on the directions of the Romanian market, with both opportunities and challenges. I very much appreciated the conference itself, the ideas and projects my fellow business partners presented, as well as the networking part, given the fact that successful professionals had an opportunity to exchange ideas and get in contact. We very much look forward to the next event.

Serban ZAVERDEANU, Director Executiv – Promotional Interservice


An extremely beneficial event for both courier and postal services companies and their suppliers. The organization was impeccable and the moderator was at the height of the event managing to maintain control of discussions, presentations, but also of debates.

Govnet deserves all the compliments for this event, managing to gather under one roof for a few hours, the big names of the industry and to settle relations between courier companies and suppliers and service providers.

Gabriel GHITA, Business Development Manager CEE, Customer Division – MasterCard


The fear to participate in a first-conference event exclusively dedicated to couriers was immediately blown away by the room full of people very interested in the accomplishments and needs of the industry. It's a credit to the organizers who have acted levers needed to create opportunities. If the first step was done with such success that I can only be very optimistic in what I believe will become an event of great interest.”

Felix PATRASCANU, Managing Director – FAN Courier


First I want to thank GOVNET for the invitation.

Starting from the right location for such an event, analyzing the participants both in terms of the presence and quality (major public – executive management), moving to the quality of the presentations and experience of those who have presented, attention to topics and active participation throughout the day, made this event to be a successful one for both courier work and related activities. Courier activities are extremely interesting both for profile companies and for contributors, which is why discussions about the latest innovations and trends are necessary for proper development of this sector and to provide high quality services and affordable for customers. As a representative of the auto industry, I am excited to participate at such events during which we have the opportunity to identify new business opportunities and to meet the transport needs of our clients. As an invited speaker at this event, I want to congratulate you both for organisation and event program.

Daniel FLACAU, Senior Key Account Manager Vanzari Vehicule Comerciale – Renault Commercial Roumanie


I would firstly like to congratulate you for the idea, its materialization and organization. It was a pleasure to know you and your colleagues with whom you have done an excellent job. I hope the next event to stand up to the one for which I congratulate you again.
