" Designers need to help users recognize when AI is wrong and what to do about it - Christopher. "

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

" Huge shout out to Lauren Cantor, our house librarian, for her wonderful contributions. "

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

" Louisa Scholar saves us a lot of work by curating the Civic Design library and digital benefits hub. "

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

" If you ever feel unsafe in our virtual community, we want to know about it so we can provide support. "

" Don't reinvent the wheel all the time; build on top of what others have built. "

" No need to take notes — our scribe David Nicholson is capturing detailed session notes and insights for you. "

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

" The community of practitioners is the way we carry each other through difficult moments. "

" An OKR coach told us to think of OKRs like a health panel at a physical—you have KPIs for status and OKRs for change targets. "

" 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. "

" Kay Abba is a business and project analyst, UX designer, and project manager who brings multifaceted expertise to our note-taking. "

" All the videos and decks will be shared almost within minutes after each presentation so you can relax and enjoy. "

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