The third edition of the invite-only and “carbon neutral” Deliver series took place on June 5th and 6th 2018 in London, at Twickenham Stadium, with 750 attendees – a 70 per cent increase compared to the last edition – coming from 35 different countries.
Deliver 2019 will take place on June 5th and 6th 2019 in Lisbon (Estoril Congress Center) and will involve 1,200 attendees.
Deliver 2018 gathered 60 e-Logistics service providers – multinational leaders and innovative startups across delivery, technology, fulfillment and packaging – who had 2,000 one-to-one meetings with 450 decision makers from e-commerce powerhouses, with a ratio of three buyers per vendor.
By bringing together this unprecedented league of leaders in e-commerce who spend several billion euros in logistics services, Deliver is Europe’s biggest e-Logistics marketplace.
The conference program involved a global line-up of speakers, half of them coming from USA and China and speaking in Europe for the first time, among prominent LogTech investors, disruptive robotics startups in delivery and warehousing, as well as e-commerce, thought leaders.
All service providers at Deliver had the chance to receive the best possible recognition: the one coming from their customers. Based on almost 200 votes through the event app from attending retailers, the following vendors have received the Deliver 2018 awards:

Deliver has also been the opportunity to take stock of the development of Deliver in Europe, an online platform co-funded by the EU allowing e-Logistics vendors to list their services for free in order for e-retailers to easily source the e-Logistics services they need, especially for their cross-border needs.
Since the inauguration of the platform at Deliver 2017 by Maros Sefcovic, Vice President of the European Commission, and Karima Delli, Chairwoman of the Transport Committee at the European Parliament, more than 300 e-Logistics vendors from 60 countries have registered and listed above 1,000 of their services which are consulted by several thousands of unique visitors per month.
