" We’re seeing these agents trying to represent ourselves online in ways we’ve never seen before - Bria. "

" We are closing out design ops 2024 with innovation curated by the incomparable John Kuda. "

" If you ever need help, you can reach us at help-customer-service for technical issues and customer support. "

" Our curators have been working for months taking presentations from little ideas to something big that advances design ops as practice. "

" It’s energy management, not time management — listen to yourself rather than comparing your output to others. "

" Today’s theme is resilience expressed through inspiring personal and professional stories. "

" The pressure in design ops is often delivery-first mindset instead of quality and strategic impact - Dave Malu. "

" You will have full copies of everything that you experienced today and all the questions. "

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

" This is the same conference in so many good ways — good ways are that it’s resilient and there’s a certain steadiness. "

" Our sponsors offer sessions with no sales pitches, just incredibly high-quality content. "

" Sponsor sessions are completely free and not just a normal sales pitch, they’re very similar to the main programming. "

" If you have any questions for the speakers, you really need to put your question in the thread specific to the talk. "

" This conference is the opportunity I saw to design an experience that felt personal to our community. "

" Manuel Herrera is here to take the burden of note-taking off us, so you can focus on the moment. "

" Lauren Cantor keeps all those links and other resources so we don’t have to be googling while listening. "

" We could not do this conference without our incredible sponsors who spend a lot of effort thinking about ways to enrich our programming. "

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

" Cohorts are one of the favorite parts of the conference, so really participate if you’re in one. "

" If you want to avoid time zone confusion, you can switch the conference schedule to your local time on the program page. "

" Sponsor sessions are free, not sales pitches, and do not overlap with the main program so anyone can attend. "

" Just because empathy isn’t always visible at the top doesn’t mean you can’t be the change. "

" No need to take notes — our scribe David Nicholson is capturing detailed session notes and insights for you. "

" You bring energy that blows me away. I’m so excited by your excitement. "

" Each of these speakers shares career defining experiences scaling design organizations large and small. "

" Junior engineers often resent having to create OKRs that feel disconnected from their day-to-day work. "

" Working on a different word than empower: People already have power, we have to respect it. "

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

" If you have more ops people than designers, you risk chaos and underappreciation of what ops actually delivers. "

" Sponsors make this conference possible, without them we wouldn't be here talking about some incredibly interesting things. "

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

" Man, oh man, what an incredible few days of learning and of the community that we have all had the opportunity to discover at Design at Scale. "

" Please be nice, respect each other, and carry yourself as if you were at your day job. "

" Day one is all about ensuring craft on a massive scale, led by Uday Gahender. "
