" No need to take notes — session notes, sketch notes, resources, videos and decks will be shared after presentations. "

" Sometimes resources are available as soon as an hour or 30 minutes after the talk, like the team is working miracles. "

" Please put your questions in the Slack thread associated with the talk, not just the general channel, or they’ll get lost. "

" Our behavior is implicit messaging; we need both explicit and implicit signals to support resilience on teams. "

" Practical ops is about getting stuff done because it’s our job to scale the organizational ability to design and amplify the work of designers. "

" If any of those adjectives do not apply to how you’re feeling right now, we wanna know. "

" Even though we are virtual, we are still community and must treat each other with kindness and respect. "

" If you want to take part in the gifs, laughs, jokes, questions, and links to resources, join us on #deogenerall Slack channel. "

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches; they offer content similar in quality to the main program. "

" You are the reason why we are able to have such high quality programming that we do have at this conference this week. "
