" This is a gift to yourself. Three days you get to really dig in with other design ops peers. "

" Most people in UX are already doing many things the sustainability guidelines call for like accessibility and user research. "

" The idea of a conversational interface shouldn’t constrain us; adding widgets or interactive elements is definitely possible. "

" It’s a tricky balance being both a community resource and a business; people don’t always see us as a business. "

" We are continuing the conversation on the potential for designing with AI with case studies and demos. "

" We have a protocol that we’re gonna encourage you and cajole you and coax you into using. "

" The psychological safety in a speaker cohort helps get through the messy middle moments of talk development. "

" Please stop by the Rosenfeld Bookstore for some signed books by our awesome authors. "

" Support staff are wearing little black hats so you know who to ask for help. "

" Teams are shrinking and budgets cut, so AI is no longer a toy but a necessary augmentation tool. "

" The best books balance why and what content with how-to sections to make a topic evergreen. "

" Intersecting UX with other domains is where the most interesting and less competitive opportunities lie. "

" We made a very intentional choice to build in five minute breaks after every talk based on feedback and experience. "

" What you’re going to experience today is a beautifully aged stew, delicious ideas that have a sum that’s greater than the parts. "

" Designing for climate isn't just about fixes; often the solutions are just better ways of doing things. "

" AI is a partner but a junior partner — it’s your gopher or minion, not the one to make final decisions. "

" Sponsor sessions are not sales pitches; they are free and provide incredibly high quality content. "

" This conference is running on Pacific Time, but you can change it on the program page to your preferred time zone. "

" Together you might manage to get that very large stone up and over the top of that very steep hill. "

" We’ve never had so many scholarship applications for one of our conferences. "

" Our collaboration involves people from very different backgrounds, including traders and portfolio managers. "

" I didn’t understand just how complex everything was, not only on the stakeholder side but the technology side as well. "

" Go out the next three days as part of this conversation rather than simply sitting back consuming information. "

" Join the design ops Slack channels to interact closely with speakers and peers as if you were sitting next to them in person. "

" I’ve often been the first person on a design team in design ops, and acting like a designer helped me gain trust quickly. "
