Emceeing for Dell Technologies in Rome, Italy
March 25, 2026David Meade serves as a corporate MC, host and facilitator at Dell Technologies’ Global Partner Event.
David Meade was delighted to partner with Dell Technologies for a global partner event held in Rome, bringing together almost two hundred of their highest performing partners from across the world. Dell Technologies is a global leader in digital transformation, helping organisations modernise infrastructure, embrace AI, and deliver innovation at scale. This event reflected the strength of that ecosystem, uniting a community of partners who play a critical role in delivering value to customers in every market.
Set against the backdrop of Rome, Italy, the event combined celebration with forward looking ambition. It recognised outstanding performance across the partner network while also creating space to think strategically about the opportunities ahead in 2026 and beyond. The atmosphere in the room was focused, optimistic, and collaborative, with a shared commitment to helping customers succeed in an increasingly complex and fast moving environment.
Event Emcee
David served as the official MC, host, and facilitator for the entire programme. His role was to drive energy, focus attention, and ensure that every session delivered meaningful impact for the audience. Working closely with the Dell Technologies team and partners in advance, he helped shape a day that flowed seamlessly while maintaining a clear narrative throughout.
A key theme of the event was the power of small changes. The programme explored how incremental improvements in the way partners engage with customers can lead to significant results. The focus was on understanding customer challenges in greater depth, embracing new opportunities, and building truly collaborative relationships that support long term success. Across every session, the message was consistent. When partners succeed in helping their customers grow, the entire ecosystem benefits.
The agenda featured a series of standout contributions. Philip McGuire, EMEA Distribution Lead, opened the event with a powerful overview of the current industry landscape, setting the tone for the discussions that followed. Pradeep Ravindra Nath then explored the major shifts shaping the sector, equipping the audience with the insight needed to respond with confidence and clarity. Marco Fenizzi brought a valuable local perspective, sharing the country view from Italy and connecting global strategy with regional opportunity.
One of the highlights of the day was a panel discussion hosted and facilitated by David. The panel featured Nicholas Shepard, Alexis Ogre, Chris Feltham from Intel, and Sophia Luis from Microsoft, both key sponsors of the event. The discussion explored the future of partnership, innovation, and customer success, with practical insights into how organisations can collaborate more effectively in a rapidly evolving market.
Throughout the programme, there was a strong emphasis on application. Sessions explored how partners can accelerate AI outcomes for their customers, strengthen cyber resilience, and build secure, scalable infrastructure that meets both current and future demands. The conversation moved beyond theory and focused on real world impact, challenging delegates to think about how they can not only respond to change but actively shape it.
David ensured that the energy in the room remained high and that each session connected to the wider purpose of the event. His role as facilitator helped bring clarity to complex topics and encouraged participation from across the audience, creating a dynamic and engaging experience.
Reflecting on the event, David noted how impressed he was by the quality of conversation and the commitment of the partner community. He has worked with Dell Technologies across the world, including events in Marrakech, Madeira, Croatia, and Italy, and continues to value the strength of this long standing relationship.
He also expressed his appreciation for the team behind the event, particularly Tammy and Megan from the Incentive Company, whose preparation and attention to detail ensured the programme ran smoothly from start to finish.
With such a strong foundation and a clear focus on the future, the event in Rome marked another important step in Dell Technologies’ ongoing journey. David looks forward to continuing his work with the team and is excited for the next opportunity to collaborate in the months ahead.
