A Summit Like No Other

Operators Guild is a professional community like no other. Our job titles may vary but our focus is the same - build the best companies in the world.

We believe networking and connection opportunities are essential for career growth. OG's Summit is not just about acquiring knowledge and tools to make you a better operator; it's about fostering meaningful relationships and building a strong professional network. Engage with peers, share experiences, and forge lasting connections that go beyond the conference walls. 

Summit by the Numbers:

  • 100% of 2024 Attendees Would Return Again
  • 50/50 Split of Networking vs Programming
WILL YOU JOIN US IN AUSTIN?

Operators Guild has a block of rooms available at Thompson Austin and tommie Austin that are available to book now.

Besides just being able to spend in-person time with folks that I've spoken with virtually (or online-only), the incredible high quality & relevance of some of the speakers was phenom.

Of the 30 years of conferences I’ve been to, this is a top 5.

It was the best conference experience I've had--which is entirely due to the quality of the attendees and the thoughtful way the day was structured.

Loved the real talk. Appreciated the energy and buzz of the group.

    Andy Raskin - The Art of Crafting a Strategic Narrative

    Strategic narrative is the one story everyone in the company is telling. Leadership is the act of inspiring others to make a story come true. In that sense, the best operators are not only storytellers, but champions of a movement.

    Andy Raskin will explore the art of crafting a strategic narrative to power growth and influence. He will share his framework for leveraging the power of narrative structure to enhance communication with teams, customers, and investors.

    Drawing on his viral post "The Greatest Sales Deck I've Ever Seen" and his collaborations with leadership teams at companies like Gong, Dropbox, Salesforce, and Square, Raskin will demonstrate how aligning around a strategic narrative can drive success across all areas of an organization, from sales and marketing to product development, finance, and HR.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Summit open to only OG members?

Exclusive pricing is available to our members, but non-members are allowed to attend. We do ask that all attendees are "operators", and there will be a basic screening process to ensure non-members fall into this category. 

Where should I stay?

OG Summit will be happening at the Limelight Hotel in Denver. We have a reserved block for Summit Attendees. 

If you'd like to stay elsewhere, other close hotels within walking distance are The Crawford Hotel inside Union Station, Sentral Union Station, Mint House Denver, Hotel Indigo, and The Oxford Hotel.

What time should I arrive and depart?

If you'd like to attend our welcome dinner, included in your ticket price, plan to join us by 6 pm on Wednesday, May 15th.

Content will wrap on Friday, May 17th at noon but we recommend sticking around for lunch.

Do I need to rent a car to get around?

No. We've designed the Summit so you can walk to the majority of activities! For anything "off campus", transportation will be provided.

If you are flying into Denver International Airport (DIA), we suggest taking the A Line Lightrail train from the airport.

Thank you to our sponsors!
