" Our books are evergreen; you can get a lot from a book that might be 18 years old. "

" The follow-up prompts are incredibly powerful. They help you learn the language of the field. "

" The Rosenverse is our subscription platform, and it offers a great mix of both free and premium content. "

" I feel like we are the user advocates. Our job is to be on the side of the angels and the users. "

" The Rosen Bot is trained on all of our books plus over a thousand recorded sessions from conferences and community talks. "

" Silos are everywhere—in technology companies, retail, inside silos inside silos. "

" This could be a really valuable resource, especially in days of no budget for professional development. "

" The sponsor sessions are equal in quality and quantity as our main programming and completely free for anyone to attend. "

" UX designers have the power to design interactions that encourage environmentally friendly behaviors. "

" We’re building in the attribution of ideas to authors and speakers, emphasizing the humans behind the expertise. "

" The Rosenverse is a weird mix: it’s a for-profit business but also a neutral community resource. "

" We have a code of conduct. It’s not just window dressing, it’s the front door to a process with people behind it. "

" What do you want to take out of this conversation that we’re manifesting and developing over the next couple of days? "

" If your talk isn’t accepted, it doesn’t mean it’s bad—it might just not fit the program’s narrative arc or available slots. "

" Please stop by the Rosenfeld Bookstore to check out signed books and brand new titles. "

" The virtual social event tonight is Cozy Juicy Reel, a fun board game our virtual attendees always love. "

" If your topic is already tackled exceptionally by a prior book, go deeper or wait until the market shifts. "

" Be authentic in your portfolio and speak to your unique experiences and values. "

" If something makes you feel unwelcome, the code of conduct explains how to engage with staff to resolve issues. "

" The conversation about design and product collaboration is happening privately inside businesses or from coaches and mentors. "

" Think of AI more like a junior associate, a really powerful one, not a replacement. "

" This is a design ops summit. You’re with your people, we get you and we all want you to do well. "

" Dave Nicholson is a true hero—he captures incredible detail and speed in his notes. "

" You’re the ones who’ve weathered digital transformations, Six Sigma initiatives, agile and lean, and you might have even thrown up on or twice on a product manager. "

" The world really needs what researchers like you bring to the table. "

" There is a code of conduct in place and it’s not just a document but a process to help the community. "

" Careers here are jungle gyms, not ladders; you can move laterally and explore many paths. "

" There’s no need to take notes because session notes, videos, and decks will be shared promptly on the conference site. "

" The theme is clarity. But really I’m gonna say the theme is you — the 613 people from all over the planet. "

" One of the easiest ways to gain trust is really to talk and think and act like a designer or a researcher if I’m joining a research team. "

" We have to move beyond linear solutions. Complex systems require us to explore our way through problems. "
