EVENT DETAILS |
Its been WAY too long since we all got together. Seeing as we wont be meeting in person any time soon, were going virtual!
For our first online meetup, were keeping things short, sweet, & topical. Two speakers will talk about how the global pandemic has changed their businesses & industries at large.
Well share a Zoom link sponsored by Rush Order (https://rushorder.com) closer to the event. Rush Order provides global warehousing, multi-channel order fulfillment, & in house customer support for hardware startups to large enterprises.
Heres our rough agenda for the evening:
7:30 - 7:45pm "Arrival" - BYOB+P (bring your own beer & pizza)
7:45 - 8pm Welcome + notes
8 - 8:20pm Rich Mokuolu, cofounder & CEO of Partsimony (https://www.partsimony.com/).

Haytham will disucss how COVID affected KINETIC's operations (badly), how they converted it into an opportunity (phew), & what he thinks is the future of the industrial workforce (hint: it ain't robotics for at least 50 years).
