Building a Purpose-Driven Event for the Future of Retail
Redefining what an industry event should be
For Stéphane Tomczak, Founder and Chairman of DELIVER, the vision behind the event has always been clear: prioritise quality over volume.
Now in its third edition in the United States, DELIVER America continues to grow — not by increasing scale alone, but by strengthening the value of every interaction.
“We are not based on volume, but on quality,” Tomczak explained. “People come here with a purpose.”
A model built on meaningful connections
At the core of DELIVER is its pre-scheduled, one-to-one meeting format. Unlike traditional trade shows driven by footfall and chance encounters, DELIVER ensures that every meeting is intentional and relevant.
By matching retailers and solution providers in advance, the event removes inefficiencies and creates a more focused environment for business development.
“There are no random encounters,” Tomczak said. “Everything is designed to make business effortless.”
A company driven by purpose
Beyond the event itself, DELIVER is built on a broader mission. Sustainability has been embedded into the company’s model from the beginning, with the event operating as carbon neutral and offsetting emissions.
More recently, DELIVER has taken this commitment further by reinvesting its profits into sustainable and social initiatives — reinforcing its position as a mission-led organisation.
“We reinvest all profits into sustainable and social companies,” Tomczak noted. “That’s how we close the loop.”
Growing impact in the US market
While DELIVER America is still relatively new, momentum is building quickly. Strong feedback, repeat attendance, and increasing engagement from both retailers and partners point to a solid foundation for growth.
Tomczak sees significant opportunity to expand both the scale and influence of the event in the US.
“We are still the new kids on the block,” he said, “but we are building something that will become unmissable.”
Looking ahead
With a clear focus on purposeful connections, sustainability, and long-term impact, DELIVER is positioning itself as more than just an event — but as a platform for meaningful collaboration across the retail and logistics ecosystem.
As the US edition continues to evolve, the ambition is clear: to grow not just in size, but in relevance and impact across the industry.
