Summary

On behalf of Rosenfeld Media and the curation team, the host warmly welcomed attendees to day two of Design Ops Summit 2024, themed around Impact and curated by Francis Ilana. The talk reviewed important logistical details, including the official time zone (Pacific Standard Time), the availability and nature of sponsor sessions (high-quality and non-sales focused), and encouraged participation in the Slack community for questions and discussions. The host thanked sponsors such as Fable and Vox Pop Me for making the event possible and introduced the virtual swag bag accessible via QR code or a URL. Special recognition was given to David Nicholson, the house scribe and senior UX designer at PwC, for capturing session notes and contributing his diverse background in UX and business analysis. Emphasizing inclusivity, respect, and the code of conduct, the talk closed with reminders on accessing help and ensuring everyone feels safe and welcome during the virtual summit.
