Hosted by DSN Founder & CEO Stuart Johnson and emceed by CMO and Speaker Kathleen Ross, this event brought together candid executive perspectives, practical education and real-word case studies from leaders successfully navigating the same complex marketing landscape you face every day.

Congratulations to the 2025 DSN 40 under 40!
