Membership fee for a BVL membership (valid from 1 January 2024)
You can choose between a company membership, a personal membership and a trial membership. With company membership, you appoint so-called contact persons depending on the size of your company. These are the contact persons in your company who benefit from the entire membership service. With personal membership, we take into account your respective work and life situation. The trial membership "Test the Best" provides an insight into the membership with a full range of benefits before it automatically changes into a regular personal membership at the beginning of the following year.

| * Contact persons are our contact persons in your company who benefit from the entire member service just like personal members. All contact persons deposited on 01.01. of a year can use the services of the BVL company membership for the entire calendar year. Of course, membership places can be reallocated if a deposited contact person leaves your company during the year. In addition, it is possible to exchange contact persons at the end of each year. The main contact is also the admin of the company membership and is responsible for the administration of the membership. |

| Start with the trial membership "Test the Best" now and get six full free months. Afterwards, you will receive a special monthly rate of 10 € for the rest of the current year before your membership automatically changes to a regular personal membership on 01.01. of the next year. During the period of non-contributory membership, you can terminate your membership at any time by e-mail or via our website; during the contributory phase, the regular notice period of six weeks prior the end of year applies. Example: Start of your trial membership is on 13.02.2024: Membership is free of charge till 31.08.2024, then monthly 10 € till the end of the year (4x 10€). You will receive the invoice for these 40 € from us in September 2024. |
free of charge for 6 months, thereafter monthly 10 € until the end of the year. | |
According to our Articles of Association, the membership fee represents an annual contribution for the current calendar year. Regardless of whether the application takes place in January or, for example, in July, the annual contribution is to be paid in full. A proportionate monthly payment is not possible. This was decided by the General Assembly as an executive organ of BVL and is documented in our Articles of Association.
Please note that personal memberships can only be charged to the member's home address; corporate memberships will be invoiced to the companies.
With your registration, you benefit immediately from the numerous advantages of the BVL membership. For example, the participation fee for our events, such as the BVL Supply Chain CX (former International Supply Chain Conference) in Berlin, can be reduced by up to EUR 200, which has already paid off a personal membership fee.

As a non-profit association, these are minimum contributions. You are also welcome to set a higher contribution for yourself, which we will invest in the work of the association in accordance with its statutes. The annual contribution for personal members is tax deductible.
