Featured Fourth Annual OpsStars Event Shows Significant Growth; Highlights Ops Leaders In Inaugural Award Program

The B2B marketing action stretched far beyond the Moscone Center during Dreamforce, as more than 2,500 attendees convened at the historic San Francisco Mint building this week for the fourth annual OpsStars event. Growing approximately 60% over last year’s event, OpsStars featured 28 sponsors and expanded its agenda to three full days of content — 62 total sessions.

Bringing together B2B sales, marketing, customer and revenue operations leaders into one place to share best practices, case studies and networking, OpsStars has emerged as a leading community for revenue-focused teams.
