OpEx: Minimizing operational expenditure
Strategies for reducing operational expenditure whilst maximizing operational resiliency and efficiency
With more and more information exchanged online, we believe in-person content and networking should be experiential, memorable and based upon individuals meeting individuals.

That worked. I've been in back to back meetings with people I really need to connect with since I got here. And the App even works!
Hannibal Flemming, Argo Critical SolutionsKudos to DCD for re-inventing their event model post-pandemic. It's a really high level audience and I'm making great contacts.
Bill Bubenicek, Generate CapitalThere's been some real turnover in the industry, so it's been great to re-connect with suppliers and find out who can help me.
John Ford, SabeyThis has been a really good use of my time. Before I got here yesterday I wasn't so sure it was going to work.
David Eisenband, EYP Mission CriticalThe pressure we're under to build faster and bigger means my team is always on the lookout for new technology and partners to get us there. For the last year we’ve had to rely heavily on pre-lockdown relationships. We’re coming to diversify our partner ecosystem & strengthen existing relationships, because truthfully, only so much can be done on Zoom.
Mark Flanagan, Group Managing Director, Kirby Group EngineeringWe're constantly churning through white papers. Listening to webinars. Looking for case studies on how new technologies are being applied in data centers. But we need to meet vendors face-to-face because we've always got more questions. And it’s not just about understanding the nuances of the tech. It’s about building the trust too.
