The Center for Operational Excellence Summit 2023 will focus on reimagining the possibilities of operational excellence to change, adapt, and excel during times of disruption and uncertainty. This year’s Summit will feature four keynote presentations you won't want to miss.

Each year, The Ohio State University Center for Operational Excellence offers an opportunity to get your cross-functional teams in front of the latest best practices in leadership and problem-solving at the COE Summit.
