Call for speakers for Team '26 closes December 4, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

During the Call for speakers, you as the submitter will select which of the proposed formats (breakout, panel, theater) best aligns with your content.

Please note: The session type selected during the submission process serves as a proposed selection, indicating the ideal duration and format for your content. Should your submission be accepted for the event, Atlassian reserves the right to adjust your content to an alternative duration or format that better aligns with the overall event agenda. This ensures optimal scheduling and content delivery for all attendees.

If accepted, you will have the opportunity to deliver your unique story to a wide audience and connect with your peers on a new level. Additionally, all accepted speakers receive a complimentary pass to attend the event and are assigned a dedicated track lead from Atlassian. Your track lead will partner with you throughout the preparation process, offering guidance and feedback to enhance your final presentation. We’ll also be offering virtual sessions with a speaker coach and a robust speaker resource center.

Submissions that are service and product pitches will not be accepted. If you're interested in marketing your solutions, please email sponsorship@atlassian.com.

Absolutely! Every year we receive so many great submissions and we have a difficult job of only accepting a limited number of sessions. We would love to be able to utilize the amazing content in our future events, webinars, or blog posts.

If you’re interested in delivering your presentation in another format, or being a part of a future marketing campaign, please be sure to check this box in the submission form.

Yes, but you will need to have all of the speaker’s information, including their email address, to submit the session. If you are submitting on behalf of a customer, the following criteria must be met:

  • The customer must be informed that they are being included in a proposed session for Team '26.
  • The customer must confirm that, if selected, they would be willing to travel, at their own expense, to the event in Anaheim, CA May 5-7, 2026.
  • The customer’s name, company, and contact information must be included in the submission to be considered. Any submissions that do not provide this information risk being automatically declined.

During December 2025 and January 2026, all session proposals will be reviewed. Someone from Atlassian may reach out to you for additional information about your proposal(s) during this review period.

Acceptance and decline notifications will be sent out via email on a rolling basis as the event agenda is finalized. All session submitters will be contacted about their submissions prior to February 1, 2026.

All submitted sessions are blindly reviewed by a program committee made up of a wide variety of Atlassians. After initial review, sessions are discussed in track-focused calibration meetings and an effort is made to provide an overall balanced agenda.

Session submissions can be accepted as they are, however it is not uncommon for the program committee to request changes from submitters. These changes may include merging sessions with similar content, adjusting the session format, or requesting additional information to ensure a balanced and comprehensive agenda.

If your session proposal gets merged with another session, you will work with your Track lead to adapt the content of your session and the speakers involved. It's important that both the content and the speakers are combined in a way that fits the designated session format. Collaborative work during the content development process will be essential to ensure that the final session is cohesive.

Yes. As soon as you receive your acceptance email, you will have access to the Speaker Resource Center where you will track your tasks and deliverables. Content development should happen early, so that you have time to refine your session materials throughout the month of March and into early April.

Please submit a request through our support form and someone from the team will be in touch.
