Operations or "Ops" is the group that coordinates all the activity during the convention, whether that be panels, presentations, or Events, Operations makes it happen. This includes the background activity of building a program, scheduling the speakers (and the rooms), and deconflicting them as necessary to make for a smooth flowing convention.
While Ops is responsible for general coordination, they should generally be the last resort for repairing conflicting schedules; This should have been done in advance by programming staff. Ops does not as much make things happen as keep them happening in order, the way they were planned.
