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

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

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

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

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

" Man, oh man, what an incredible few days of learning and of the community that we have all had the opportunity to discover at Design at Scale. "
