Business Transformation & Operational Excellence Summit & Industry Awards (BTOES)

The Premier Cross-Industry Gathering of Business Transformation & Operational Excellence Industry Leaders & Senior-Executives.

Testimonials

I have found the summit to be among the best I've attended in my 30+ years. The speakers are professional; the presentations are informative and no sales attempts as I've seen in other settings. 

VP Performance Process Improvement , Universal Health Services

The Summit and Industry Awards was outstanding.  It was my pleasure both to participate and attend.  I compliment both Brian and you and, of course, Vijay, on what can only be classified as a first class event. The pleasure in meeting you was mine and I look forward to future interaction.

VP - IP Capture Quality, US Bank

Pre-summit workshops were very practical, tool-based, and I will certainly leverage.  The summit had powerful key note speakers, experienced practitioners sharing their learnings and best practices.  The awards ceremony event and dinner was very well done - pace was good, dinner was lovely, atmosphere was celebratory.  Evening drinks events where we could spend more time networking.  I was not able to stay for the post-summit workshops although I heard good things from 2 who did stay behind.  As a speaker I also found the experience to be very rewarding.  Your team was very organized from requesting the bio, updating the website, keeping me apprised via emails, etc.  Thank you for the experience.  I hope you will continue to reach out to us for other events.
