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

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches but really similar to the main program in quality content. "

" Manuel Herrera has been featured at events across the globe and builds workshops that ignite creativity. "

" Manage to outcomes, not output. Focus on what you need, not how someone does it. "

" We talk about being resilient in our day jobs and co-creating operating models with our teams even when things get hairy and squirrely. "

" If we keep framing ourselves as servant leaders for design teams only, we will be shooting ourselves in the foot - Patrizia. "

" You can reach out to us anytime at conferences@rosenfeldmedia.com if you need help of any sort. "

" This is the first time we’ve had an in-person component since the conference started in 2020. "

" The conference structure allows you to let everything wash over you and come back as you need. "

" We have lots and lots of breaks over the next couple of days so you can take in everything our incredible speakers have given to us. "

" This conference could not happen without our sponsors, so genuinely from the bottom of my heart, thank you sponsors. "

" Documentation your team will actually use. "

" Design ops is changing was our first theme, and today it’s all about practical design ops. "

" Manuel Herrera is here to take the burden of note taking off us so you can listen, focus, and be in the moment. "

" Slack is where most of the discussion is going to be happening, including questions you can ask presenters. "

" Please read our code of conduct — bullying is absolutely not tolerated, we want good vibes here. "

" Bria is the bringer of dad jokes and the glue of the conference. "

" No need to take notes. We have session notes, sketch notes, resource lists, videos, and decks ready for you. "

" Slack is where a lot of the conversation is going to be taking place. "

" Sponsor sessions are free, not sales pitches, and don’t overlap with the main program. "

" Cohorts are one of the highest rated parts of our conference because they build connection. "

" Collaborate, connect with other ops disciplines, and add a design voice to broader initiatives. "

" I am so incredibly proud of Dante, Courtney, Olney, and Gonzalo for their care in the curation process and outstanding presentations. "

" This Summit is your annual opportunity to get to know each other and amplify the promise and impact of design. "

" The positive experiences come when teams are connected to real strategic missions and feel empowered to deliver key results. "

" If designers could work themselves out of their jobs, then we’d have done our job. "

" I couldn’t imagine a product team having design ops, product ops, and research ops all at once without chaos – Meredith. "

" This is our third and final day of the Design Operations Summit 2021. "

" You don’t have to worry about note-taking; all session materials will be available shortly after presentations. "

" All videos and decks will be shared on the conference site ASAP — you don’t have to worry about taking notes. "

" The cohort pride is real because of the hard work of our facilitators. "

" If you have questions for our speakers, post them in d-a-s general in the specific talk thread we've created for each presentation. "

" Even virtually, we are a community obligated to treat each other with kindness and respect. "
