A Content Rich Networking Feast Exclusively
For DTC Operations

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!
