" These free models flounder, but high-end enterprise models are more accurate and context-aware - Brittany. "

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

" 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. "

" 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. "

" Trust is fragile with designers; without clear communication, metrics can feel like micromanagement - Dave Malu. "

" If these two voices don’t work for you, you can reach out at conferences@rosenfeldmedia.com. "

" We’ve got you covered with notes, sketch notes, slides, and recordings so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. "

" We are obligated to treat each other with kindness and respect; this is a safe and inclusive space. "

" Our sponsors offer sessions with no sales pitches, just incredibly high-quality content. "

" We are on our third and final day of Design Ops 2023. "

" Sponsors bring so much color and so much light into the community. "

" This day is focused on me, my job and my specific day-to-day challenges, not on some invisible finish line or senior title. "

" Please post your questions in the thread associated with each presentation so we can see and address them. "

" If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe engaging in this community, we want to know about it. "

" Slack is the way you ask questions to the speakers, and it’s where most of the community interaction happens. "

" This is absolutely not the time for us to be throwing our hands up in the air and giving up on Research. "

" Slack has over 650 people actively talking and sharing experiences right now. "

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

" We are still a community even though we are virtual and are obliged to treat each other with kindness and respect. "

" Make a business case for yourself by bragging about your capabilities and making them applicable. "

" Cohorts are consistently one of the highest rated parts of the conference — they’re a fantastic way to learn together. "

" MJ Broadbent’s sketchnotes are absolutely outstanding. You really do not have to take notes yourself. "

" Through the expertise of our speakers and your engagement, we forge the future of our industry. "

" OKRs are not one-size-fits-all; you have to shape them based on your organizational context and culture. "

" Working on a different word than empower: People already have power, we have to respect it. "

" If you want to take advantage of asking speakers questions and having discussions, join our Slack. "

" People are re-evaluating their lives and careers, which inspired me to start a podcast exploring these shifts. "

" There are no overlaps between sponsor content and main programming, so you never have to choose what to attend. "

" If you’re not in our Slack channel, you’re missing out on so many big parts of the party. "

" We have some truly phenomenal sketch notebooks, so you don’t have to worry about taking any notes on your own. "

" You can access our digital swag bag by scanning the QR code or visiting app.everthere.co/e/d-a-s. "

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