What the clients said

Tableau Conference.

DNP has produced the broadcast for Tableau Conference across several years, including the hybrid format that Salesforce has continued running since.

Dave, you and the whole DNP team always make the entire production process, programming development and live broadcast so easy for us to make our program look amazing. You all know exactly how to pull everything together, and add the little extra touches to make our programming broadcast professional and polished. We could not do this without you and we are very grateful for your leadership and support to get Tableau Conference out to the world.

DNP you made the dream come true. The contributions this year and in the past are what pushes TC to it's greatness. For me, the highlight was watching the Live Studio broadcast come together including all the fun interstitial content that completed the programming. So well done! Congrats!

You and your entire team were wonderful to work with, end to end, but especially onsite and in the heat of the broadcasts. It was a huge relief to have people that are masters of their craft to stand up TC22 in a true hybrid way.

Some of the big ones.

Before the conference broadcasts — and alongside them — a run of shows where the margin for error was zero.

Thousands of people arranged into giant animal shapes on the Great Lawn in Central Park, with the Manhattan skyline behind
1998 · Producer

Disney's Animal Kingdom

Two shows for one launch. First the press announcement on the Great Lawn in Central Park, where thousands of people formed the animals of the new park and the shot only worked from the air. Then the grand opening of the park itself in Florida — different city, different audience, and a date on the calendar that was never going to move.
