Showing strength together, speaking with one voice, clearly representing a common position,
and take a forward-looking approach – the PVD achieves all this and more with reliable
partners. Which ones are among them? Take a look for yourself.
If you want to move a lot, you need reliable partners. Partners who are always actively at your side, who inspire and move you forward and who ensure a stimulating exchange of ideas.
All this and more is what ultimately distinguishes a good partnership. PVD has several. We cooperate with the following associations and events:
The BVCNL is the trade association in the Dutch gift card and adventure market with 45 members. This includes leading gift card issuers, retailers, service providers and other relevant stakeholders. These parties represent a large part of the market and this makes the association the mouthpiece of the industry. Being a knowledge center is one of the core tasks of the BVCNL, in addition to the promotion of interests. To learn more about the BVCNL, visit us at
