Summary

Lou Rosenfeld, representing Rosenfeld Media, opened day two of Enterprise UX 2023 by recapping the conference structure, including themes from yesterday like systems thinking and information architecture, and introducing today's focus on AI/machine learning, moderated by Hussan Oakley, and data design with Gaar. He shared essential housekeeping like accessing schedule times across time zones, ways to engage with sponsors, and how to access recorded sponsor sessions. Lou acknowledged the sponsor organizations and speakers like Alo Weinberg, Sam Pru, and Billy Carlson, highlighting the quality and content-first approach of sponsor contributions. He encouraged attendees to set personal learning goals, engage in Q&A and Slack discussions, and take advantage of rich conference artifacts such as notes from David Nicholson and visual scribing by MJ Broadband. Lou also introduced an informal, experimental end-of-day discussion hosted with colleagues including Uday and Hussan to foster community connection beyond formal sessions. He reinforced the code of conduct’s importance and urged attendees to support one another emotionally if needed. He closed by sharing book discount offers and new releases, emphasizing the conference’s commitment to advancing UX as a collaborative, welcoming profession.
