" We talked all about resilience, curated by myself yesterday. "

" We want you to feel included and be able to take advantage of the awesome content and speaker efforts. "

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

" Feedback is data, not personal — once you view it that way, it feels less like criticism and more like improvement information. "

" Resilience means the capacity to withstand or recover quickly from difficulties or toughness. "

" The answer to what design ops does is always it depends because the field is still emerging - Zi. "

" If you have questions for the speakers, put them in Slack under the associated thread. "

" There’s no need to take notes because session notes, videos, and decks will be shared promptly on the conference site. "

" The next big thing will be knowledge management powered by new no-code and integrative tools. "

" We could not have this conference without you all — the curation team relies heavily on audience participation. "

" Slack is the heart and soul of this conference, where the most intimate interactions happen. "

" I am so incredibly proud of Dante, Courtney, Olney, and Gonzalo for their care and effort in the curation process. "

" When teams are connected to real strategic missions and own their key results, OKRs become positive. "

" You can invite your coworker, your brother, your sister, your aunt to sponsor sessions even if they’re not signed up for the conference. "

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