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

" No need to take notes — session notes, sketch notes, resources, videos and decks will be shared after presentations. "

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

" If you want to make this conference better for you, just let us know in Slack — we want you to have a positive experience. "

" Always approach from a place of kindness and think about the experience you want people to have as the water that keeps trees bendable. "

" The stories you’re gonna hear today really reflect the world we live in, design operations, and resilience. "

" 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 [email protected]. "

" Our speakers prepare and prepare and prepare — they have a dark board with my face on it because they’re so sick of hearing from us. "

" Enterprise is kind of sexy because big, hairy, hard problems of scale and distribution live at the enterprise. "

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

" 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. "

" Every talk you hear today couldn’t get more personal to our community. "

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

" If you have a question at the end of a presentation, please put that question in the thread associated with the talk. "

" Today we’re gonna be talking about researchers as organizational change makers. "

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

" Please read our code of conduct — even though we’re virtual, we are a community obligated to kindness and respect. "

" If you are a cohort participant and don’t see your private Slack channel, please let us know so we can guide you. "

" Go out the next three days as being part of this conversation rather than simply sitting back and being a consumer of information. "

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

" Slack is the heart and soul of this conference — that’s where you ask questions, get help, and connect with others. "

" It seemed just like yesterday that I was talking with Dave Malouf. He dropped that term design ops on me. "

" We help each other, support each other, and guide each other through murky and unclear times. "

" 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. "

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

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

" Kay Abba is a business and project analyst, UX designer, and project manager who brings multifaceted expertise to our note-taking. "

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

" If you’re not in Slack, you’re missing out on the party. "

" The official time zone of this conference is Pacific time. "

" We have 11 cohorts and 130 people participating in this week’s conference for small group discussions. "
