Strategic Studio Operations
So you have the basics of studio operations down. Congrats. Now, what do you do with all of the data? What is a signal, and what is noise? How do we turn all of that data and good operations habits into a strategic advantage for our business?
Let’s look at the four critical areas of our business: People, Biz Dev, Delivery, and Finance, and take the next step to leverage our operations into running a better business.

“This was my first year joining the Ops Summit, and I was thoroughly impressed with the host, speakers, their sessions, and the event logistics. The sessions did a great job covering the vast topics that fall under operations, and I walked away with a ton of new knowledge and ideas!”
— Kat Spasov, Operations Manager at Lumino
“I loved that the program evolved to provide foundational information for new folks, but also expanded on prior year summits for folks who've previously attended.”
— Erin Fogel, Co-Founder / Co-Owner at DevCollaborative
Why You Need to Attend
MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS
Operations Summit gives you the opportunity to connect with peers in an open, supportive environment. Spend some quality time with fellow operators to build a network that lasts long after the event ends.
AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT
Great ideas don’t show up at your desk or in a conference room. If you're looking for the next big thing, head to a place that's ripe for conversation, innovation and discovery. Get the space and fresh air you need to devise new solutions and implement change right away.
TIME AWAY FROM IT ALL
With everything going on in life, it can be hard to slow down to regain your focus, creativity and inspiration. Commit to some time away for yourself, to clear your mind and make room for new ideas and solutions. It’s amazing how much better things are when you take time to recharge.
NEW INSIGHTS & INSPIRATION
Operations Summit lets you unwind with fellow operators to discuss what you’re up against, brainstorm solutions and vet ideas. Escape with us to discover new trends, approaches and solutions.
“Operations Summit is an amazing 'reset' as someone in the operations role at an agency. It gives you an opportunity to benchmark what you're currently doing and walk away with some terrific ideas and resources to improve things moving forward.”
— Ross Beyeler, COO at Trellis
