The Operators' Circle - 2 days. Houston, TX. During Hygienix
The Operators' Circle
A private gathering for hand-selected founders & senior operators during Hygienix 2026
This is an invite-only experience for founders and senior operators building the next generation of CPG brands. During Hygienix week in Houston, TX Jay Group is bringing a small, curated circle together for candid conversation, peer learning, and an inside look at how modern fulfillment gets done.
Every guest is chosen with care so the group stays productive and engaging. Registration doesn't guarantee a spot, and not every applicant will be selected.
