" We are closing out design ops 2024 with innovation curated by the incomparable John Kuda. "

" Please put your questions inside of the thread associated with the talk. "

" You can change the conference time zone to your local time zone in the upper right corner so there’s no confusion about start times. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" Learning is a marathon, not a sprint, especially in the context of online conferences. "

" Use your phone camera to scan the QR code on screen and access the digital swag bag. "

" Sponsor sessions are completely free and not just a normal sales pitch, they’re very similar to the main programming. "

" If you have any questions for the speakers, you really need to put your question in the thread specific to the talk. "

" The good vibes you experience are a reflection of the positive collaborative spirit we worked hard to create for you. "

" Many of you might be the only design ops person in whatever room you’re in for as much as 362 days a year. "

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

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches, they’re incredibly high quality and free to attend. "

" You will not be missing out on much if you don’t snag the digital swag bag. "

" MJ Broadband’s sketch notes will make your conference experience 10 times easier. "

" 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. "

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

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

" OKRs can sometimes suck the oxygen out of the room if they focus only on bottom-line results, missing process and experience. "

" Everyone, both speakers and participants, understood the assignment of civic design from day one. "

" There is no need to take notes; session notes, sketchnotes, resource lists, videos, and decks will be shared. "

" We still don’t know if head of design ops will evolve toward a COO role or some other senior position. "

" All session notes and resources will be available within the hour, so you can just relax and absorb the content. "

" You can invite your coworker, your brother, your sister, your aunt to sponsor sessions even if they’re not signed up for the conference. "

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