Summit OVERVIEW

The 2025 Operational Excellence and Business Transformation Summit in Atlanta is where action-oriented leaders come to reset what operational excellence truly means. This is not a room for theory. It is a space for bold thinking, practical insight, and strategic momentum.

Across three focused days, you will engage with peers who are navigating the same pressures you are. From making intelligent systems work in the real world to building transformation strategies that stick, this summit delivers more than inspiration. It delivers clarity.

You will be in the room for workshops that push boundaries, case studies that pull back the curtain, and conversations that go far beyond the usual playbook. These are the tools and stories that help you lead through complexity, scale what matters, and keep your teams moving forward with purpose.

This is about more than adapting. It is about leading. It is about turning operational excellence into something lasting, human, and built for what comes next.

Bring your vision. Build your momentum. Leave ready for what is ahead.
