cONference 2025 - the biggest Operations event in Europe
Dear operations leader who holds everything together at your organisation:
This is your sign to prioritise yourself, your growth, and make connections with your peers. 👏
Join us for the ONLY conference in Europe that is designed for YOU: the COOs, VPs of Operations, Heads of Operations, and Operations Managers who want to connect with people who get it.
This year's theme:
How to lead in an unpredictable world by building resilience within yourself, your organisation, and the broader ecosystem
Why ON?
Operations Nation is THE space for operations leaders to learn, connect, and grow in their careers.
We're operations leaders ourselves, so we've walked in your shoes and felt how lonely Operations can be. Not anymore though - that's what the cONference was built for.
Your ticket includes:
✅ Full access to the 2-day cONference experience - Step away from the day-to-day chaos to engage with top experts and thought leaders as they share actionable strategies to help you build resilience across ecosystems, organisations, teams, and within yourself.
🛠 Hands-on learning – Join interactive roundtables and fun workshops for in-depth discussions and immersive problem-solving with real-world challenges.
🧠 Powerful connections – Connect with other operations leaders, share your experiences, and get honest advice from people who really get it.
🎉 Evening social – Keep the momentum going and celebrate with us after the sessions are over!
💎 Long-term value – Get access to session recordings and form lasting relationships to support you beyond the event.
This is more than just a conference - it’s an investment in your growth and success. 🚀

Check out the reviews from last year ⭐
"I'm now a full convert to community conferences vs business expos! It was a jam packed schedule, I have a little bit of FOMO from some of the sessions I couldn't join and really valued the networking coffee time too. Thank you for being so inclusive with the spaces, facilities and food, super appreciated!" - Alice Montgomery
"Amazing event! Thank you for all you do to build such a beautifully connected community." - Becca Sweetman
"Absolutely loved the conference! Really felt like I learnt so much and made so many great connections! Thank you ON!" - Kim Rennie
"Absolutely best conference I have ever been to - great and insightful sessions with key takeaways as opposed to staying on the surface. I came away with tangible items as opposed to obscure things. Lots of people from different walks of life, and great connections." - Penny Penati
"Very well done on a brilliantly organised event. It was invaluable meeting like-minded and experienced Ops Leaders who were open to sharing transparently about their successes and challenges as they navigate their roles and organisations and careers." - Josephine Groom
