At X4 2026, we celebrated the inaugural winners of the Qualtrics Partner of the Year Awards.
Understanding what matters to customers, employees, and markets — and being able to act on it — is the greatest advantage in business today. Qualtrics partners equip organizations with the capabilities, support, and expertise to turn that understanding into a competitive advantage.
The QPN Awards recognize the partners making this real. Those who go beyond technical deployment to drive lasting transformation, unlock advanced capabilities, and push the boundaries of what's possible in today’s AI shaped world. This year's awards span Five categories: Partner of the Year, Technology, Customer Excellence, Innovation, and Rising Star.
Our partners are at the heart of how customers experience the full power of Qualtrics. This inaugural class represents the best of our global ecosystem, and I'm proud to celebrate them.
