DTN’s FY26 Sales Kickoff won Best Third Party Collaboration by embedding a specialist experiential agency into planning as a genuine strategic partner, not just a production supplier. Over a 12-month collaborative cycle, DTN contributed organizational strategy and content ownership while the agency brought creative direction and experiential design expertise, together redesigning the entire delegate journey around a cohesive “Own It, Drive It, Win It” narrative. This close partnership allowed DTN’s team to focus on strategy while trusting the agency with production, delivering DTN’s highest-ever results: a 74% Net Promoter Score and 93% of attendees rating the event Excellent or Outstanding.
