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

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

" Sometimes resources are available as soon as an hour or 30 minutes after the talk, like the team is working miracles. "

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

" A lot of design ops impact comes from influence, and influence comes from empathy and showing the benefit of what you are putting out. "

" 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. "

" Look for people wearing the very acute Rosenfeld Media black hats if you need help. "

" This is a conference where you can stand up and people will see you do that — which we haven’t had in the past. "

" We'll have a centralized Slack channel for all discussion to come together as one community. "

" There is no overlap between the main program sessions and sponsor sessions. "

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

" A little color purple to start the day. Good morning. "

" We want you to leave feeling like all those missed Slack messages and emails are worth it. "

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

" We are on our third and final day of Advancing Research 2023. "

" You can invite anyone in your family to attend the sponsor sessions for free even if they’re not registered. "

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches. They offer really high content very similar to the main conference. "

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

" Please put your questions inside the thread specific to the talk so we can keep everything organized. "

" You will come away from this conference with so many artifacts from these talks you won’t miss anything. "

" 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. "

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

" The community of practitioners is the way we carry each other through difficult moments. "

" Accessibility is a great example where OKRs can unify multiple product and design teams to a non-negotiable standard. "

" How do we know how to evaluate radical participatory design? Has there been a sustained shift in power? "

" Lauren Cantor works with companies to create new business strategies by tackling human-centered design. "

" Automation frees us up to do more for the organization, but if overdone, it can strip away the human aspect critical to culture. "

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

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