“Really well organized. Nice driver and fellow passengers, and a cozy, small-scale way to start and end Springtij.”
Events
11% of attendees carpooled
Every year, Springtij Forum brings 800 policymakers, scientists and civic leaders to the island of Terschelling for three days of work on a more sustainable Netherlands. But first, everyone has to get there. And that means driving to Harlingen to catch the ferry.
The challenge
Springtij doesn't just want to talk about sustainability...
It wants to put it into practice, right down to how attendees travel to the forum. The solution had to be easy to use, plug straight into the existing conference registration and need no extra coordination.
The integration
Built right into registration
Springtij integrated Slinger directly into its Invitado event app, so carpooling became a natural part of signing up. Attendees saw the option the moment they registered. The Slinger widget was also available on the Springtij website. Slinger integrates with the most widely used event management platforms, including Invitado, Momice, Stager and Cvent.

The result
Springtij attendees start networking on the way to Harlingen.
In 2025, 11% of the 800 attendees carpooled to Harlingen: 37 drivers offered 92 seats and 51 attendees rode along. A nice jump from 9.4% in 2024. Together, they saved 11,803 kilometers and 2,278 kg of CO₂. For these attendees, the networking started on the road.
“A really nice way to travel. Good for the environment, fun and a great way to meet new people.”
“Great! Such good company. Picked up and dropped back home. What more could you want?”
