8:30-12:15PM |
This is your invitation to sit down with hundreds of DTC operations people at the information buffet. Choose our traditional classroom learning, forums and workshops, roundtables, tours, speed-networking, or our networking&resource Connections Zone lounge. Go to a one-hour session, a full day workshop, or a casual roundtable for 20 minutes. We understand that learning should be fun, and that networking is a key part of the experience.
Feature Presentation "Lightning Talks"
The Operations Summit has invited top operations executives to give "Lightning Talks" 5-8 minute talks on important current events and trends in the industry. Lightning Talks are fun, interesting "mini-keynotes", given by some of the most insightful executives in the industry.
Top Ops Power Panel
We've selected some of the best and the brightest operations executives to discuss where direct-to-customer operations is heading, and where you should be spending your time and money. Crucial for your company, and for your personal future.
Resource & Networking Connections Zone Lounge
Unlike a traditional exhibit area, you'll find a manageable number of sponsoring companies that are coming together to create a fun, comfortable networking area with great operations resources for you. Join the fun, find new resources and contacts, and learn something too. So fun, you'll forget that you are at a conference!
Speed Networking
Ever returned from a conference frustrated that you didn't meet people that have similar challenges to yours? Well, that won't happen if you attend the speed-networking sessions we'll have at the conference. This will be a fast way to meet everyone and find out what sized operation they have, what challenges and opportunities they are working on. Great way to build your own personal advisory committee!
