" David Nicholson is our house scribe, a senior UX designer with a passion for enterprise-scale products. "

" I want you to have the best time possible and bring your fullest self to our conference today. "

" It’s energy management, not time management — listen to yourself rather than comparing your output to others. "

" Today’s theme is resilience expressed through inspiring personal and professional stories. "

" Design ops should coordinate initiatives, measure impact, and advocate for designer happiness as a business metric - Peter Bosma. "

" Please stop by the Rosenfeld Bookstore to check out signed books and brand new titles. "

" The virtual social event tonight is Cozy Juicy Reel, a fun board game our virtual attendees always love. "

" There will be session notes and sketch notes so you don’t have to take notes yourself unless you want to. "

" We have at least 10 minutes of breaks between each session so you can take in everything. "

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

" The code of conduct is on every page of our site; it includes procedures for getting assistance. "

" I often find myself wondering what I really gained from time away from my desk beyond swag and catching up with colleagues. "

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

" Lauren Cantor keeps all those links and other resources so we don’t have to be googling while listening. "

" We could not do this conference without our incredible sponsors who spend a lot of effort thinking about ways to enrich our programming. "

" Slack is where the real party is happening for this conference. "

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

" You can access the digital swag bag by scanning the QR code or visiting fld.me/cd2022 for cool sponsor offers. "

" Join our Slack channels—it’s really where the party is with gifts, jokes, and amazing conversations. "

" The next big thing will be knowledge management powered by new no-code and integrative tools. "

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

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches. They offer incredibly high-quality content and are free to anyone to attend. "

" The waters of operations can feel incredibly murky and the path forward may not always be clear. "

" 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. "

" The future of civic design will be localized, designed for and by communities rather than dictated top-down. "

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

" I’m a power user of Airtable because it combines multiple tools into one accessible system for designers and teams. "

" If you want to take part in the gifs, laughs, jokes, questions, and links to resources, join us on #deogenerall Slack channel. "

" The cohort experience is one of the highest rated things because you get to meet new people from different companies. "

" You are the reason why we are able to have such high quality programming that we do have at this conference this week. "

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