Agenda

Welcome to our event! Come say hello to other members across our country while our MCs get the river flowing
12:05 PM: Teamwork + Strategy: Atlassian's Game-Changing Collections
At Team 25, Atlassian announced two significant bundled app collections: the Teamwork Collection (Jira, Confluence, Loom, and Rovo agents) and the Strategy Collection (Focus, Talent, Align). In this conversation Gasper will discuss how these collections will break down silos, streamline collaboration, and embed AI-powered insights directly into workflows. We will also explore how customers can still purchase apps individually, but the bundles offer enhanced integration and value. We will review the phases of the collection’s rollout, with broader availability planned over the next several months.
12:20 PM: New Cloud Deployment Options
Next is about the big announcement in New Cloud Deployment Options for Enhanced Security and Control: Atlassian Government cloud and isolated cloud. In this conversation Swati will discuss the various features of the two cloud offerings and how they help enhance the security requirements in various government and regulated sectors.
12:30 PM: Unlocking Rovo's Potential
AI is transforming our work! Those who welcome this change and work hand-in-hand with their AI teammates will thrive in this new landscape. Everyone must acquire the skills to craft effective prompts, test and optimize agents, and understand their limitations.
In this interactive session, Sven will explore the art of AI prompting, showcase multi-agent workflows, and share some handy tips to help you unlock the full potential of Rovo agents.
Join this session to enhance your AI usage capabilities—one agent at a time.
12:50 PM: AMA(oA) Panel Time!
1:10 PM: It’s Quiz Time!
