| Hey Brittany. Are you still planning the design conference for the company? |
| Yes, I am. |
| I've never done anything like this and underestimated the amount of work it requires. |
| My current task is finding an opening speaker. |
| Ah, a good opening speech is important to the flow of the rest of the conference. |
| Are you looking for someone internally, or open to a guest-speaker? |
| Well, I am open to either. |
| I have already reached out to a few people who aren't available. |
| Did you speak to Elisa Lowe? |
| She is an expert in user-centered design. |
| Yes, unfortunately, she will be out of the office that day for her son's graduation, |
| so it can't be rearranged. |
| Well, did you hear that we recently hired Slyvia Tee for our head of product design? |
| She isn't due to start work until next week, but she has a lot of great experience. |
| Oh, I have heard her speak at a networking event. |
| I didn't know she was joining the team, but that is great news. |
| I will definitely reach out to her. |
| I worked with her years ago, so I can give you her phone number. |
| Or, I'm sure you can reach out to HR for her email. |
