Meet Your Operations Camp Host

Rob Harr who hosts the monthly Ops Role Call and is the founder of Operations Summit will be our host. He is one of the smartest folks you’ll find when it comes to agency operations!

Rob is a developer and software consultant who found his way into running a web business. He is a co-founder and Vice President of Sparkbox, a web design and development studio in Dayton, OH that focuses on long-term partnerships with clients and creating a better Web through education.

In his current role as Vice President, Rob is responsible for Sparkbox’s operations and financials. This has led him to speak frequently about pricingoperations and other business topics. His personal commitment to brutal honesty and plain speaking about what he has learned and the struggles of growing a business have struck a chord with audiences. Also, while at Sparkbox, Rob led the design of the apprenticeship program which allows the company to develop web talent in Dayton.


WHAT ATTENDEES HAVE TO SAY

“Nothing can replace the experience of connecting with your industry peers in-person. With every Bureau event I've been to, I've left with a new group of friends that I can reach out to with work (and sometimes personal) issues. I feel like I level up my career every time.”

— Carson Pierce, Operations Consultant at Parakeeto


“As a first-time Operations Camp attendee and as someone new-ish to business operations, I was glad to be able to be "in" operations the whole time. The camp was very small, and our group gelled almost immediately, making it easy to learn from my peers. Carl, Rob, and Lori ran a smooth, fun, engaging event, and I can't wait to go to another one.”

— Allie Thorpe, Senior Digital Project Manager Lead at DevCollaborative
