Event Services

Invite DPM to speak at your next conference, roadshow event, offsite, SKO, or podcast.

You bring the audiences; we’ll bring the insights and enthusiasm

Live Events

Conferences, executive workshops, advisory councils, and roadshows

There is nothing more impactful than face to face, from the stage to the myriad sidebar discussions that happen during a live event. Inviting DPM to your event brings you not just the DPM-led topic but also as many adjacent meetings as you can fit into our day.

We’ll adapt the insights to ensure your audiences leave with actionable takeaways and satisfaction for attending your event.

CONFERENCE INTERVIEWS & WRAP-UPS

About your event and why it matters

DPM can do more than just deliver content at your event; let’s talk about the event itself.

If you have a media desk, podcasters’ row, an interview station, or are hosting our friends from The Cube™, we’d love to offer our thoughts on what was compelling from the day’s content.

As thanks for bringing DPM to the conference, we’ll be sure to do social media on why we’re excited to attend and what we’re hoping to hear, which might entice others to register – as well as our wrap-up and takeaways when the event concludes.

Virtual Panels & Podcasts

These are so fun, we do them for free

We promise a lively discussion and soundbites that are insightful. Topics can include not just data protection and BC/DR, but also ethical servant leadership and workplace dynamics.

It can be hard to find podcast guests or fill out a virtual panel, so for 2026, DPM will be a podcast guest or panelist in your virtual event, usually at no charge.

We can come to your enablement/SKO or record content for use within your LMS learning platform.
