We had an absolute blast today chatting with Jeffrey Szczepanski and we hope you enjoyed the insightful session as well. 💡 Keep your eyes peeled for the recording to find out Jeff's advice for surviving turbulent times by ❌ overcoming our instinct to be reactive (which would potentially worsen the problem) ⛈️ learning how to author our own stories even in the midst of a storm. We're really sorry to all of you who missed the chance to connect with ops folks after the session. To quote one of our community members, Filip Szczecinski: "I expect some f*uck-ups - without them, it wouldn't be an Ops conference." 😭 And so the prophecy was fulfilled: our first online event of the International Ops Festival was full of tech mishaps - from faulty network connection to our speed networking function breaking down, leaving folks perma-muted and without prompt questions. 😰 In the spirit of "keep calm and author on": we hope to make up for the missed networking session on Friday, after our Closing Fireside Chat with Lila Ibrahim - so don't forget to tune in at 12:00 PM BST! ⏰ #OpsFest2023 #operationsleadership #operationsconference #networking

Industry leaders came together at Club Nimbus for an engaging discussion on how businesses can leverage cutting-edge solutions to drive growth and success. Check out the key takeaways here:

Super excited for the monthly Geeks Who Lead meetup in NYC tonight. I'll be discussing "how much to invest in what" with Kwame Thomison, VP Engineering at Alma. Thanks to our sponsors Engineer Access, Primary Venture Partners, Stride, Okteto and Aptible - we wouldn't be able to run the community or the events without their support. When you’re being asked to do more with less, it’s sometimes hard to right-size investments in activities like platform engineering or L&D that deliver value, but are not on the customer facing roadmap. In this months discussion, we’ll be chatting about how to identify, evaluate and propose investments in improving your org (whether through tooling or training) that will provide a clear and measurable ROI.
