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

" Impact curated by France Alana was outstanding. "

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

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

" Feedback is data, not personal — once you view it that way, it feels less like criticism and more like improvement information. "

" 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. "

" This is the same conference in so many good ways — good ways are that it’s resilient and there’s a certain steadiness. "

" We have at least 10 minutes of breaks between each session so you can take in everything. "

" Please put your dropdown or your personal agenda in your local time zone so there’s no ambiguity. "

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

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

" Try to walk away from this conference with at least one new design ops buddy. "

" Cohorts are a super duper fun way to engage with more of our community. "

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

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

" You don’t want to miss out on the sponsor sessions — they’re free and high quality, not sales pitches. "

" 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. "

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

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

" Please read our code of conduct. Every participant should feel safe, included, and welcome. "

" Each of these speakers shares career defining experiences scaling design organizations large and small. "

" 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. "

" Our community would not be what it is without you. "

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

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

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

" The cohorts have been a slam dunk hit in our virtual conferences while we’ve been doing them. "

" Yesterday was a lot of fun, but today is going to be even more fun. "

" It is my honor and pleasure to welcome each of you to the 2021 Design at Scale Conference. "
