" We’re seeing these agents trying to represent ourselves online in ways we’ve never seen before - Bria. "

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

" David Nicholson is our house scribe, a senior UX designer with a passion for enterprise-scale products. "

" 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. "

" When I think about resilience, I think about flexibility, like trees that bend in strong winds instead of breaking — that starts with mindset and communication. "

" Today’s theme is resilience expressed through inspiring personal and professional stories. "

" The answer to what design ops does is always it depends because the field is still emerging - Zi. "

" Everyone's sitting on the aisle, your right, my left — you gotta scoot over like two seats. "

" We’ve got you covered with notes, sketch notes, slides, and recordings so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. "

" The themes this year include transforming century-old industries, startup to enterprise, the outsider’s perspective, and partnering to transform. "

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

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

" Sponsor sessions do not overlap at all with the main programming. It is 100% fully optional. "

" Practical ops is about getting stuff done because it’s our job to scale the organizational ability to design and amplify the work of designers. "

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches but offer incredibly high quality content, and they’re free for everyone. "

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

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

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

" If you have a question for a speaker, put it in the thread for their talk, not in the general chat. "

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

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

" It’s not just about design; build relationships with HR, product management, sales, and more. "

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches; they are content-rich and free to anyone who wants to attend. "

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

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

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

" We need to slow down decision-making processes so that ethics and systems thinking scale with project scope. "

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

" Design ops has an opportunity to inject human-centeredness into product development to balance business and customer value. "

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

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

" Man, oh man, what an incredible few days of learning and of the community that we have all had the opportunity to discover at Design at Scale. "

" All of this content would not have been possible without your support and your feedback. "

" The official conference time zone is Pacific Standard Time, but you can change it to your own time zone at designatskill.com. "
