" You have to keep AI at arm’s length so you can critique it and not blindly trust it - Christopher. "

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

" Our sponsors make this conference and programming possible, so thank you all so, so much. "

" Manuel Herrera, our sketch noter, has contributed wonderfully to visually capturing the spirit and content of the conference. "

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

" Midday panel brings together Corey, Deanna, Laura, and Lane to talk about everything wonderful so far in the day. "

" 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. "

" We literally want to advance this field by creating space for really good professional conversations to happen. "

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

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

" 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. "

" Slack is the way you ask questions to the speakers, and it’s where most of the community interaction happens. "

" You will not be missing out on much if you don’t snag the digital swag bag. "

" If you have a question for a speaker, put it in the thread for their talk, not in the general chat. "

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

" I didn’t say conference because this is really a highly polished snapshot of a conversation this community is having. "

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

" The program page has a time zone selector so everyone can attend sessions on their local time without confusion. "

" Please read our code of conduct. Every participant should feel safe, included, and welcome. "

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

" OKRs help highlight intentions to leadership and open up conversations that generate alignment and support. "

" We need to slow down decision-making processes so that ethics and systems thinking scale with project scope. "

" If you want to take advantage of asking speakers questions and having discussions, join our Slack. "

" Design ops job descriptions change every three to six months depending on the company’s needs. "

" Check out our digital swag bag for some awesome offers from our sponsors – it's like free t-shirts and sweaters but digital. "

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

" We have some truly phenomenal sketch notebooks, so you don’t have to worry about taking any notes on your own. "

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