" AI is not really doing anything better than humans yet; it’s just faster and more efficient - Bria. "

" Sponsor sessions are optional but incredibly high content and not sales pitches. "

" You should absolutely participate in Slack—if you're missing that, you're missing a key part of our conference. "

" We have got you covered with sketch notes, resource lists, session notes, videos, and decks all shared ASAP after presentations. "

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

" We can make ourselves and our practice better because of what we’ve learned on our journeys of resilience. "

" Trust is fragile with designers; without clear communication, metrics can feel like micromanagement - Dave Malu. "

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

" The world really needs what researchers like you bring to the table. "

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

" MJ Broadband’s sketch notes will make your conference experience 10 times easier. "

" 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. "

" Scaling design organizations is the theme because in trying times, we need each other's support. "

" Day three is about keeping people at the center of an expanding enterprise, which is tricky but so important. "
