Case study

Microsoft Digital Success Academy (DSA)

  • 3-day conference + exhibition
  • 2000 delegates
  • Rome Convention Centre – La Nuvola

Integrity relished the opportunity to flex every organisational muscle and deliver an impressive, cost-effective event that brilliantly showcased Microsoft’s investment in its people.

Our event-planning relationship with Microsoft got off to a high-speed start in 2018. With only five weeks to go, we stepped in to help launch this educational conference and Partner Exhibition at EICC. In 2019 we handled the large-scale DSA event from the get-go.

When you need to hold a vast range of sessions under one roof, the right roof is vital.

So we looked until we discovered Rome’s multi-functional La Nuvola and negotiated a competitive deal.

Working closely with the client, we handled contracts and planning, and ensured Microsoft’s Partner Exhibition was well-visited. All whilst tackling tricky logistics (an Integrity speciality) and keeping a sharp eye on budget to land the best value from suppliers.

The set-up let everyone move easily between activities and exhibiting Partners to network, learn and recharge. Delegates enjoyed seamless registration and hotel booking, transport to the venue, plus a warm on-site welcome. We even recovered a runaway phone for one relieved attendee. Result!

The Integrity team took control of the day and we were able to relax. They were reliable, in control of every detail and we always got what we asked for. Their international experience is exceptional – they offer a personal touch I’ve never experienced before.

Integrity remained calm and in control when unplanned needs arose, were resourceful in their approach and dealt with complex changes without anyone knowing the pressure. Super to deal with – and they have the ability to scale up or down depending on the event, nothing is too big or small.
