There could not be an antonym for the word " postponed", I think. Because it indicates something that is done beyond the date it is expected. But we don't experience things happening before date. So, if we have to coin a new word and why not we call it an "early date" or " pre-dated" ?

Woooooow!! This is very interesting and difficult question. As per my opinion,
postpone' is to cause or arrange for something to take place at a time later than that first scheduled.
The best suitable antonym for postpone is "'expedite' it means - To speed up the progress of; accelerate,To execute quickly and efficiently
OR
you can use "Advanced"
OR
you can use "bring forward"
as per my knowledge different people from different countries use different word as a antonym for postpone
IN India - Prepone (I think it is 100% wrong)
British - Bring Forward
and
In Us - Reschedule
Portuguese - "Antepone" (I think)
