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

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

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

" This is a great opportunity. This is a gift to yourself to dig in with other design ops peers and really learn together. "

" Always approach from a place of kindness and think about the experience you want people to have as the water that keeps trees bendable. "

" 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 have the entire Rosenfeld Media staff on hand to support you throughout this conference. "

" Please stand up and hold each other’s hands, and on three, raise them high and shout Yeah so virtual can hear you. "

" The themes this year include transforming century-old industries, startup to enterprise, the outsider’s perspective, and partnering to transform. "

" There is no overlap between the main program sessions and sponsor sessions. "

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

" If you feel uncomfortable or bullied, please let us know because it’s very important to keep the vibes positive. "

" Every talk you hear today couldn’t get more personal to our community. "

" By showing up, you’re doing so not just for yourselves, but for everyone else that’s here. "

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

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches, they’re incredibly high quality and free to attend. "

" MJ Broadband saves our fingers some pain and some stress because we don’t have to take notes. "

" If you have problems with Slack or the conference experience, please contact the help desk customer service. "

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

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

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

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches; they are content-rich and free to anyone who wants to attend. "

" It seemed just like yesterday that I was talking with Dave Malouf. He dropped that term design ops on me. "

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

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

" How do we know how to evaluate radical participatory design? Has there been a sustained shift in power? "

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches; they are super similar to the quality of the main conference session. "

" Knowing your boundaries and skills lets you focus influence into meaningful outcomes rather than spreading too thin. "

" 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. "

" Sponsor sessions are completely free, and you can invite anyone you want to those. "

" If you are not on Slack, you are missing out on one of the biggest and most interactive parts of our conference. "

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