" We are back and we are right on time. Eight o'clock on the dot. "

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

" We have got you covered with sketch notes, resource lists, session notes, videos, and decks all shared ASAP after presentations. "

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

" 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. "

" If you have questions for the speakers, put them in Slack under the associated thread. "

" There is no need for you to take notes because session notes, videos, and decks will be shared as soon as possible. "

" Sponsor sessions are free, not sales pitches, and do not overlap with the main program so anyone can attend. "

" It’s not just about design; build relationships with HR, product management, sales, and more. "

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

" The theme is clarity. But really I’m gonna say the theme is you — the 613 people from all over the planet. "

" You’ll hear tactile guidance on defining ROI. "

" Celebrate progress continuously and use OKRs as a learning process to evolve goals and strategies. "

" Our job as civic designers is to bring government needs and community needs into alignment. "

" Lauren Cantor works with companies to create new business strategies by tackling human-centered design. "

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