Direct Selling: combining a
unique customer experience
with empowering entrepreneurs
The 8th European Direct Selling conference was initially planned in May 2020. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, it has had to be postponed twice. As travel and gathering restrictions in Belgium remain uncertain, the conference new date is 10 & 11 May 2022.
We are working on a new engaging programme for our delegates, great networking opportunities and renewed offers for our sponsors and exhibitors.
More info coming soon.
Seldia adopts Codes of Conduct in order to ensure that the relationships between companies, direct sellers and consumers are based on trust and fairness. The first European Codes of Ethics were adopted in 1995.The latest update was concluded in May 2021.
The Seldia General Assembly adopted a revised version of the European Codes of Conduct for Direct Selling, and a Guide on disclosure and recognisability of the commercial nature of direct selling social media content.
National Direct Selling Associations (DSAs) may use and publish the 'European Direct Selling Code of Conduct towards Consumers' and the 'European Direct Selling Code of Conduct towards Direct Sellers, between Direct Sellers and between Companies' separately if required. DSAs may also combine the two codes and use and publish them as a single entity.
The Guide aims to assist Seldia members in the implementation of the 2021 Codes. It builds on existing guidance available from enforcement authorities and advertising self-regulatory organisations, in Europe and beyond, while aiming to address the specificities of the direct selling on social media.
