" Please put your questions for a specific speaker in the associated thread for the talk. "

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

" You can change the conference time zone to your local time zone in the upper right corner so there’s no confusion about start times. "

" Supporting different ways people prefer to engage—like asynchronous workshops or prep time—helps introverts and extroverts contribute equally. "

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

" Design ops is not execution or tactical, it’s a leadership role that brings design thinking to the whole organization - Patrizia. "

" Look for people wearing the very acute Rosenfeld Media black hats if you need help. "

" Our speakers prepare and prepare and prepare — they have a dark board with my face on it because they’re so sick of hearing from us. "

" We made a very intentional choice to build in five minute breaks after every talk based on feedback and experience. "

" Even though we're virtual, our code of conduct still applies and requires respect and kindness. "

" We are on our third and final day of Design Ops 2023. "

" A little color purple to start the day. Good morning. "

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

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches but offer incredibly high quality content, and they’re free for everyone. "

" Cohorts are a super duper fun way to engage with more of our community. "

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

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

" We have session notes, sketch notes, resource lists, videos, and decks — no need to take notes yourself. "

" If anything's going wrong on your end, please reach out to help-customer-desk-service in Slack for tech help. "

" Civic design is relatively new and spans all kinds of government agencies from federal and national down to tribal and local. "

" Go meet someone new at this conference and set up a coffee chat next week. "

" Respect and kindness are mandatory; please read our code of conduct to ensure a positive community experience. "

" There’s no need to take notes. All session materials and videos will be shared quickly after presentations. "

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

" It's okay to try and mess up your OKRs in the first few quarters and learn from it. "

" The future of civic design will be localized, designed for and by communities rather than dictated top-down. "

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

" Design ops must learn to advocate for themselves because oftentimes when things go well, no one notices the work behind the scenes. "

" There are no overlaps between sponsor content and main programming, so you never have to choose what to attend. "

" Technical difficulties happen, so please use hashtag.deo help within our Slack channel or email for support. "

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

" Our cohort facilitation sessions are one of the best parts of this conference. "

" It is my honor and pleasure to welcome each of you to the 2021 Design at Scale Conference. "
