Ops Ahoy 2027
Get in front of (and in conversations with) 100 small team operators: the people who run small teams and pick the tools they use.
Ops Ahoy’s format is built around breakouts and roundtable discussions. Attendees are Heads of Ops, Owners, and Ops Consultants. Based on Ops Ahoy 2026 attendees.

YouTube and newsletter audience data, 2025.
A small room is the point. You’re not one of 40 booths in an expo hall; you’re one of a handful of sponsors people actually meet.
Real conversations, not booth traffic
1:1 Meetings put you in 20-minute chats with attendees who asked to meet you. No cold badge scans.
Your name on a moment people remember
Own lunch, a party or the coffee bar, plus a drink on the bar menu named after you.
Proof it worked
Within 30 days you get a recap report: every deliverable, with links, meetings, clicks and views.
Reach that outlasts the weekend
Sponsor placements in ProcessDriven’s YouTube videos, newsletter and LinkedIn keep working long after September.
“
It's the first, best, and only conference where I've connected with like-minded folk who get operations challenges. If you're used to feeling like the smartest person in the room (when it comes to company operations), here's your chance to finally be around others who can expand your perspective and teach you some new tricks.

Host & Head of Sponsor Experience
You’ll work with me
I founded ProcessDriven 8+ years ago to help small teams (5–50 people) run their operations without the founder holding everything together. I’m the creator of Ops Ahoy and I personally manage all sponsor experience for the event.
Sponsoring Ops Ahoy means you also reach the audience I’ve built on YouTube and in my newsletter: small-team owners and operators who come to me to figure out how to run their business better.
Booths don’t build relationships… experiences do. All sponsor packages include moments that are built into the event that attendees can’t miss.
First come, first served: pick your experience right after you buy
