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

" We talked all about resilience, curated by myself yesterday. "

" You should absolutely participate in Slack—if you're missing that, you're missing a key part of our conference. "

" Please put your questions in the Slack thread associated with the talk, not just the general channel, or they’ll get lost. "

" Our behavior is implicit messaging; we need both explicit and implicit signals to support resilience on teams. "

" We can make ourselves and our practice better because of what we’ve learned on our journeys of resilience. "

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

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

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

" Sponsor sessions may require registration by email to prevent Zoom bombings and protect session integrity. "

" Even though we're virtual, our code of conduct still applies and requires respect and kindness. "

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

" Slack is a huge part of how we are going to be engaging in today’s conference. "

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

" Try to walk away from this conference with at least one new design ops buddy. "

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

" If you feel uncomfortable or see bullying, please let us know. We absolutely do not tolerate it. "

" Researchers have really taken it on the chin during this latest economic downturn. "

" You don’t want to miss out on the sponsor sessions — they’re free and high quality, not sales pitches. "

" If anything's going wrong on your end, please reach out to help-customer-desk-service in Slack for tech help. "

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

" I’m still early on in measuring accessibility impact but tying early bug fixes to ROI is promising. "

" We could not have this conference without you all — the curation team relies heavily on audience participation. "

" You bring energy that blows me away. I’m so excited by your excitement. "

" Scaling design organizations is the theme because in trying times, we need each other's support. "

" 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. "

" Everything can be designed – ourselves, relationships, processes, policies, systems. "

" We have over a thousand members in the #do-general Slack channel, and that’s where the party is at. "

" Our industry is new enough that we get to make design ops whatever we want it to be – that’s an incredible opportunity. "

" If you have any tech issues or need customer support, #deogenerall.help is here to assist you throughout the conference. "

" Check out our digital swag bag—our sponsors put a lot of effort into making compelling offers for all of you here today. "

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

" Yesterday was a lot of fun, but today is going to be even more fun. "

" Without your research, feedback, and engagement, we would never have pulled together such a diverse slate of speakers. "
