" AI is not really doing anything better than humans yet; it’s just faster and more efficient - Bria. "

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

" We want you to feel included and be able to take advantage of the awesome content and speaker efforts. "

" Manuel Herrera, our sketch noter, has contributed wonderfully to visually capturing the spirit and content of the conference. "

" AI is a great tool for drafting and summarizing, but you have to keep your unique voice because that’s what differentiates you. "

" Resilience is about more than surviving; it’s about growth in our practice and relationships. "

" We need standardized role definitions, not everyone is a manager just because they manage initiatives - Peter Bosma. "

" We have the entire Rosenfeld Media staff on hand to support you throughout this conference. "

" Please stand up and hold each other’s hands, and on three, raise them high and shout Yeah so virtual can hear you. "

" We made a very intentional choice to build in five minute breaks after every talk based on feedback and experience. "

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

" If you have a question for one of the speakers, put it in the specific thread associated with the talk or it will get lost. "

" You can also reach us quickly by going to help-desk-customer-service for any tech or support issues. "

" Documentation your team will actually use, how to define and maintain a design ops roadmap, AI as a design partner. "

" Manuel Herrera is here to take the burden of note-taking off us, so you can focus on the moment. "

" Please be sure to make sure you change your conference itinerary to your local time zone. "

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

" The world really needs what researchers like you bring to the table. "

" Adjust your conference time zone setting depending on where you are to avoid confusion. "

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

" I didn’t say conference because this is really a highly polished snapshot of a conversation this community is having. "

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

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

" Even though we’re virtual, we are still a community and obligated to treat each other with kindness and respect. "

" 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. "

" Designers must do the internal work of self-awareness and reflection before shifting power to communities. "

" If you ever feel unsafe or threatened, please let us know in the #do-help channel. "

" Design ops job descriptions change every three to six months depending on the company’s needs. "

" You do not need to take any notes, we have dedicated note takers who provide session notes, resource lists, decks, and videos. "

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

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

" Please be nice, respect each other, and carry yourself as if you were at your day job. "

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