" There’s a big discrepancy between accessible consumer AI and what deep research-driven AI can do - Brittany. "

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

" We are going to have a very cherry day. You get it? Because I’m wearing cherry earrings. "

" What is your mission for this design Ops summit? When this conference ends, what do you want to feel? "

" A lot of design ops impact comes from influence, and influence comes from empathy and showing the benefit of what you are putting out. "

" Optimization and using Slack a little better can make us gentler to each other. "

" If design ops only serves designers, it risks silos; instead it must apply design thinking across R&D and product teams - Patrizia. "

" We have the entire Rosenfeld Media staff on hand to support you throughout this conference. "

" If you want your question asked, please put it in the Slack channel, because I cannot keep up with the rapid things happening live. "

" There will be session notes and sketch notes so you don’t have to take notes yourself unless you want to. "

" You don’t have to take notes because we have an incredible note taker capturing everything. "

" Please put your dropdown or your personal agenda in your local time zone so there’s no ambiguity. "

" If you feel uncomfortable or bullied, please let us know because it’s very important to keep the vibes positive. "

" We want you to leave feeling like all those missed Slack messages and emails are worth it. "

" Many of you might be the only design ops person in whatever room you’re in for as much as 362 days a year. "

" If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe engaging in this community, we want to know about it. "

" Please respect our code of conduct to ensure a welcoming and safe space for all attendees. "

" Bria is the bringer of dad jokes and the glue of the conference. "

" You don’t want to miss out on the sponsor sessions — they’re free and high quality, not sales pitches. "

" Our sponsor sessions are not sales pitches; they are serious, high content learning opportunities for everyone. "

" You will come away from this conference with so many artifacts from these talks you won’t miss anything. "

" It’s not just about design; build relationships with HR, product management, sales, and more. "

" Slack is the heart and soul of this conference — that’s where you ask questions, get help, and connect with others. "

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches. They offer incredibly high-quality content and are free to anyone to attend. "

" The waters of operations can feel incredibly murky and the path forward may not always be clear. "

" Language matters—make your OKRs user-centric and customer-focused to avoid them feeling like overhead. "

" Our job as civic designers is to bring government needs and community needs into alignment. "

" This is our third and final day of the design operation Summit 2021. "

" I’m a power user of Airtable because it combines multiple tools into one accessible system for designers and teams. "

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

" The cohort experience is one of the highest rated things because you get to meet new people from different companies. "

" If you’re not in Slack, you’re missing out on the party. "

" We have many breaks, and sponsor sessions usually take place during those. "

" Without your research, feedback, and engagement, we would never have pulled together such a diverse slate of speakers. "
