Teamwork is messy. AI might make it even messier. Join Atlassian’s Chief Design Officer Charlie Sutton and Figma’s Chief Design Officer Loredana Crisan as they share how they’re designing for that reality, not against it.

 

The best ideas come from false starts, conflicting opinions, and rapid iteration. Design shouldn’t get rid of that mess, because the mess is necessary. It’s where magic happens.

 

Design should get rid of the friction around the mess: busywork, duplicate effort, and a sprawl of tools and agents. Good design should make teamwork feels like a creative act, not a chore.

 

Charlie and Loredana will share how Atlassian and Figma are stripping away that friction. You'll learn about human+AI experiences built on decades of teamwork insights and the Teamwork Graph and hear how design can protect human agency and empower teams to move faster, decide better, and build work they're proud of.

The agents have entered the building.

 

The human–AI workforce is no longer a thought experiment—it’s here. But getting real results isn't instantaneous. Some teams are seeing real gains. Others are discovering that the digital agents that looked great in the demo are stumped by the hard reality of an organization that was not designed for them.

 

In our opening keynote, Wharton professor and leading AI researcher Ethan Mollick, Magnus Östberg, Chief Software Officer at Mercedes‑Benz AG, and Emily Chang, award‑winning tech journalist and television host, explore what’s working now, what’s not, and how successful teams will build with AI toward long-term advantage.

 

We'll map what it takes to move an enterprise from AI novice to AI native and dig into the messy reality of humans and agents learning to work as a team. Because the question for leaders is no longer whether AI will reshape work. It’s whether your organization is ready for unlimited agents that continuously generate ideas, but still depend on you to shape how teamwork works.

Engineering organizations lose millions when their work isn't connected to company goals. Without a unified system of work, teams chase the wrong priorities, duplicate effort, or reinvent systems already built elsewhere. Leaders want confidence that teams are delivering value – not just moving tickets – but execution drifts and morale tanks when strategy, systems, and signals are disconnected.

In this session, we’ll share how we moved beyond a collection of tools to build a true system of work using Jira, Jira Align, Compass, Confluence, and Rovo. By rooting our engineering operations in strategic clarity and technical truth, we created a single, connected platform. The result? Leadership can see what’s being built and how it connects to strategy, while engineers get less busywork, clearer direction, and faster context.

Whether you’re leading a startup or a 5,000-person platform org, you’ll see how building a system of work on the Atlassian stack – with AI woven in – can reduce toil, improve forecasting, and sharpen executive confidence.

Your AI is only as secure as your data

AI is a force multiplier for both productivity and risk. As organizations race to adopt AI under growing security and compliance pressure, the hard part isn’t getting access to the technology; it’s using it safely.

In practice, AI amplifies how your information is handled today. If data is overexposed, AI can scale that risk instantly. If your fundamentals are strong, AI becomes a real advantage.

At the same time, we’re seeing a rush across the market to layer point solutions onto already complex environments. But AI doesn’t operate in silos. It runs on the same identities, permissions, and data you manage every day. That’s why Atlassian takes a holistic, end-to-end approach to information protection.

In this breakout, Rob Bissett, joined by Sudhanva Ramesh, VP Enterprise Transformation & Agile Strategy at Synchrony Financial, will walk through Atlassian’s approach to information protection across the platform: from infrastructure and deployment options, to data security and compliance, and finally the AI-specific controls built on top.

We’ll showcase new Guard capabilities and AI controls.

Key takeaways:

  • Why data security is the fastest path to safer AI: if your data and access controls are weak, AI will amplify the resulting risk.
  • How Guard helps you reduce data risks through capabilities like sensitive data discovery, classification, policies, audit logs, and threat detection (plus what’s new & coming soon!).
  • How customers are approaching AI adoption today: what they did first, what they wish they did sooner, and what helped them move faster with confidence.
