DPW Amsterdam Wins 'Event of The Year' Award

DPW Amsterdam has been named Event of the Year at the Conference & Events Awards in London – the longest-standing and flagship recognition for the global events industry. These awards highlight excellence across conferences, exhibitions, and live experiences, and receiving this distinction is a true honor for DPW. 

What are ‘The Conference & Events Awards’?

The Conference & Events Awards are the pinnacle of event industry recognition –  a highly respected benchmark within the professional events industry, specifically for conferences and content-driven events like DPW. 

Winning Event of the Year signals that DPW Amsterdam has not only delivered operational and content excellence, but has also demonstrated meaningful impact within its sector and among its community.

It is a testament to the relevance of procurement and supply chain within the events industry as a whole. (Yay, us!)

YOU Made it Possible

Over the years, DPW has grown through the contributions of attendees, partners, startups, and speakers, and we couldn’t have done this without our community. Receiving this recognition is a testament to the collective effort behind the event – from the DPW team building the program to the individuals participating and shaping the conversation on site. So, thank you! Your contributions have brought DPW this far, and we can’t wait to see where this momentum takes us. We hope you stick around for the rest of the journey. 

What’s Next?

As DPW Amsterdam continues to evolve, we remain focused on creating a platform that brings together the most forward-thinking ideas, technologies, and people in procurement and supply chain.
