Workshop: Buying better tech: an ops-led approach

​Most event tech gets bought by someone who will never have to run it.

The Ops Nest is running a 45-minute worshop session at Event Tech Live on getting ops into the buying decision earlier and asking better questions once you're in it. Small tables, real problems, and a room of people who have all been handed a platform they had no say in choosing.

Bring the one you're still living with.

Thursday 12 November, 10:00 to 10:45
Workshop Zone, Event Tech Live, Excel London

Straight afterwards, the Ops Demo Drive takes a small group around six exhibitors for ten minutes each, hosted by The Ops Nest. Sign up here.

You'll need a free Event Tech Live badge to get into the venue. Register at http://eventtechlive.com if you haven't already.
