July 16 | Optus Headquarters | Jonesboro, Arkansas

Experience Optus From the Inside

Join a select group of senior IT leaders for a one-day executive immersion designed to explore how modern enterprises are simplifying complex technology environments across distributed operations.

This is not a trade show, vendor expo, or sales pitch.

It is a strategic, education-first experience built for leaders navigating modernization across communications, cybersecurity, AI, and national IT service delivery.

What Participation Includes

  • A guided tour of the Optus facility, including our operational environment
  • Direct access to Optus leadership
  • Focused, outcome-driven executive sessions
  • Conversation with select strategic partners
  • Peer dialogue with other enterprise IT leaders

We’ll close with an instructor-led pickleball experience because some of the best business conversations don’t happen across a conference table.

Why Attend

Enterprise IT has become layered, fragmented, and harder to manage than it should be.

Voice in one place. CX in another. Security stitched together. AI bolted on. Multiple vendors. Multiple contracts. No single line of accountability.

We believe there’s a better way, and this day is about showing how multiple solutions integrate into one simplified, accountable ecosystem.

Who Should Attend

IT leadership responsible for modernization across multiple enterprises and mid-market locations.

If you’re evaluating communications transformation, contact center strategy, AI integration, cybersecurity posture, or distributed IT support models, this day is built for you.
