Off the Record: Operators Breakfast
What does great operating actually look like from the inside?
Most operator events are either a crowded mixer or a stage of execs talking at you. This one is a small breakfast, 8-12 Chiefs of Staff and rising operators around one table, for an open, honest discussion about the biggest challenges you're facing and whatever else is top of mind.
Thursday, Nov 5th · 8:00–9:30 AM
The Battery, San Francisco
Breakfast provided.
