Why Spring GDS sees DELIVER Europe as the pulse of ecommerce
For Thijs Boel, Managing Director, Europe at Spring GDS, DELIVER Europe stands out because of the level of conversation.
Speaking at DELIVER Europe 2026, Thijs described the event as a true European ecommerce gathering, bringing together people who understand the business and are ready for meaningful industry discussion. That quality is one of the reasons Spring GDS returns every year.
He also highlighted the natural fit between Spring GDS and DELIVER Europe. As a European logistics business, Spring GDS values an event that brings together the wider ecommerce ecosystem across the region.
This year, Spring GDS also continued its support for the Sustainability Lounge. For Thijs, that sponsorship is not only about brand presence. It is about stimulating conversations, engaging in panel discussions and helping the industry move sustainability forward in practical ways.
His main message is that sustainability does not need to be abstract. Logistics is a practical business, and there are actions companies can take immediately. By starting somewhere and building from there, sustainability can become more tangible and can also support stronger business outcomes.
For Thijs, DELIVER Europe remains the place to understand the pulse of ecommerce in Europe: the conversations, the challenges, the opportunities and the direction of the industry.
