About this Event

Ops Ahoy: The Conference for Small Business Operations Leaders

Ops Ahoy is the first conference built for systems-minded people. No motivational gurus. No MBA bloat. Just two days of proven frameworks, deep discussions, and peer connections with the operations leadership of small (5–50 person) companies.

Whether you're a chief of staff, ops leader, or business owner — we welcome you aboard.

📅 When & Where
September 16–18, 2026, aboard the Moshulu, a restored 1900s sailing ship docked at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia.

What You'll Get

• Two full days of breakout sessions led by real operators (not theorists) — covering process mapping, AI-driven systems, second-brain workflows, culture-building, and more
• Peer-led meetups and mastermind sessions to work through your actual operational challenges
• A business book exchange — bring one, take two
• Meals included, plus a closing party

Why We Built This
Ops Ahoy was created by operators of small teams who were tired of learning what works through trial-and-error. This event is pitch-free — no upsell, no single methodology being sold to you. Just candid conversations shaping the future of small business operations.
