Off the Record: Operators Breakfast

What does great operating actually look like from the inside? Most operator events are either a crowded mixer or a stage of execs talking at you. This one is a small breakfast, 8-12 Chiefs of Staff and rising operators around one table, for an open, honest discussion about the biggest challenges you're facing and whatever else is top of mind. Thursday, Nov 5th · 8:00–9:30 AM The Battery, San Francisco Breakfast provided. Moderator Isabelle Kerr, Chief of Staff, Noon Energy: Isabelle has led as Chief of Staff at Noon Energy since 2024.
