Lou Rosenfeld opens Enterprise UX 2023 Day Two by welcoming participants and recapping the conference themes covered so far: systems thinking and information architecture on Day One, followed by artificial intelligence and machine learning moderated by Hussan Oakley, and data design led by Gaar on Day Two. Lou shares important housekeeping information about the conference website, time zone settings, sponsor sessions, and how to access recorded sessions. He highlights the commitment of sponsors like Balsamiq, Loom, and Pinterest to providing valuable non-sales content for free and promotes special offers in the digital swag bag, including discounts on Rosenfeld Media books such as Donna Leach Hus’s "Hear the Leader’s Journey."

He stresses the importance of coming to sessions with a learning agenda and encourages attendees to engage by posting questions for speakers in Slack channels.

Lou concludes by reaffirming the conference’s code of conduct, emphasizing emotional support and safety among attendees, thus underlining the community’s values of kindness and inclusion.
