OG Summit is our annual two-day “un-conference” bringing together the world's top operators to learn, connect, and have fun! OG members receive early access and exclusive pricing. Previous speakers include Mark Hawkins (ex-CFO/president of Salesforce), Meagen Loyst (founder of GenZ VC), and Yobie Benjamin (AI technologist and innovator). Summit seats are limited — while the event is technically open to the public, OG members (who receive early access and massive discounts) swoop up most of the tickets.
