Key takeaways
Atlassian Team '26 Europe runs Tuesday 6 to Thursday 8 October 2026 at RAI Amsterdam. Monday 5 October is Day 0, with the partner-only Partner Accelerate, which is sold out.
Founder Keynote: Wednesday 7 October, 09:00-10:15 CEST, which is 08:00-09:15 in the UK. Atlassian's FAQ says you do not need to register to watch it.
Closing Keynote: Thursday 8 October, 15:00-16:15 CEST (14:00-15:15 UK). Its session page is tagged On demand only, so don't count on watching it live.
The Digital Pass is free. Atlassian's pages give two different livestream start times (08:30 and 08:45 CEST) and two on-demand dates (11 and 12 October).
Anaheim in May shipped Agents in Jira and the new Rovo Studio experience as generally available, and put the Teamwork Graph CLI and Teamwork Graph tools in Rovo MCP Server into open beta.
Atlassian Team '26 Europe runs Tuesday 6 to Thursday 8 October 2026 at RAI Amsterdam, and today, Monday 5 October, is Day 0. The one slot to put in your calendar is the Founder Keynote, Wednesday 7 October at 09:00 CEST (08:00 in the UK). Atlassian's FAQ says you can watch it without registering. Atlassian's own pages disagree with each other in three places, so I've put both versions side by side below instead of guessing.
Gabriela and I are going. No booth, no talk; I wrote in September why we're going anyway. This page is the hub for our seven-part series, which runs until Monday 12 October, and every part gets linked at the bottom.
Atlassian Team '26 Europe dates and location: RAI Amsterdam, 6-8 October
Atlassian's FAQ puts it plainly: "Team '26 Europe will take place 6-8 October 2026 at the RAI Convention Center in Amsterdam, Netherlands." Over 100 sessions, according to the same page. The themes run from AI, collaboration and service management to cloud migration.
Monday is Partner Accelerate, a partner-only day from 9:30 to 17:30 at the same venue. It's sold out. Atlassian's Partner Accelerate page is careful to add that "It is only Partner Accelerate that is sold out", so partners can still register for the main event. (The FAQ calls Monday Day 1, the agenda calls it Day 0. It's Monday either way.)
Team '26 Europe agenda and schedule by day
This is the agenda as Atlassian publishes it. The agenda page prints bare times. The FAQ and the event home page say CEST, so read everything here as Amsterdam time.
Tuesday 6 October: breakout and learning sessions 10:00-18:00, the Expo 13:00-18:00, Welcome Reception 16:00-18:00.
Wednesday 7 October: the Expo 08:00-18:00, Founder Keynote 09:00-10:15, breakouts 11:00-16:00, reception on the Expo floor 16:00-18:00.
Thursday 8 October: the Expo 08:00-15:00, breakouts 08:30-14:30, Closing Keynote 15:00-16:15, then BASH 16:30-19:30 at StrandZuid, five minutes' walk from the RAI.
Monday 12 October: the on-demand library (more on that date below).
Two things from the FAQ will matter on the day. Adding a session to your agenda reserves a spot in your planner, not a seat. Learning sessions are the exception, and you bring your own laptop and charger for those. Unclaimed seats are released 10 minutes before the start. If a session matters to you, be early.
Team '26 Europe keynote times in CEST and UK time
The UK is an hour behind Amsterdam and Romania an hour ahead. All three are on summer time this week (the clocks go back together on 25 October), so the table holds for the whole event. I added Romanian time because that's where we're based.

Founder Keynote: Your business knows better
Main Stage, Wednesday. The session page lists Mike Cannon-Brookes, Sherif Mansour, Tamar Yehoshua, Taroon Mandhana and Josh Miller of The Browser Company. It's tagged Livestream and On demand. This is where the announcements land, if there are any.
Closing Keynote: What becomes possible
Main Stage, Thursday afternoon. The session page lists Hannah Waddingham, Brian Duffy, Amit Puntambekar (CTO, Reddit), Hilary Lanham (Lloyds Banking Group) and Mike Cannon-Brookes. It describes two parts. First, a technical customer panel on connected context as "the foundation for AI at scale". Then a fireside chat with Hannah Waddingham. The page is tagged On demand, and not Livestream.
How to watch Team '26 Europe online: livestream and on demand
The Digital Pass is free. The event home page says "Sign up for free", and the sign-up form is on the digital registration page. In September I couldn't confirm that. Now it's confirmed.
You don't even need the pass for the Founder Keynote. The FAQ: "You do not need to register to access the Founder Keynote. Registration is required to access select Keynotes, Solution Keynotes, and all other on-demand content."
Now the three disagreements.
Livestream start. The FAQ says it begins at 8:30 CEST on Wednesday and Thursday. The home page and the online sessions page show the programme from 8:45 to 13:00 CEST. Join the live stream at 8:30 and you miss nothing.
The Closing Keynote. The home page lists Thursday's stream as "AI sessions + Closing Keynote 8:45 - 13:00 CEST". But the keynote starts at 15:00, two hours after that window closes. The online sessions page has no keynote in Thursday's list, and the keynote's own page says On demand only. My read: don't plan on watching it live.
On demand. The FAQ says recorded sessions are available "starting 11 Oct". The agenda and the home page say 12 October. Only select sessions are recorded, but the FAQ promises AI-generated summaries of all in-person sessions, and captions in English, Spanish, French, Japanese and German.
Team '26 Anaheim announcements: what to expect in Amsterdam
Team '26 in Anaheim ran 5-7 May. Here is what Atlassian announced there, with the availability exactly as its press release and Mike Cannon-Brookes' founder update state it.
Two things went generally available that matter most to anyone who runs Jira. Agents in Jira lets teams assign work to Rovo and third-party agents. The other is the new Rovo Studio experience. DX AI Experience went generally available too. The Teamwork Graph CLI and Teamwork Graph tools in Rovo MCP Server went into open beta. Remix with Rovo is in beta, and Confluence slides are "coming soon in beta". Max mode in Rovo Chat is coming soon. Product Collection and Code Intelligence in Rovo are in early access.
Dia is the odd one. Neither the press release nor the founder update labels it generally available. Atlassian says it is "now ready for teams of all shapes and sizes to try", with a closed beta for advanced enterprise features, including a Guard integration "that will be available soon".
What Amsterdam adds, I don't know. Nobody outside Atlassian does until Wednesday at 09:00. What I'll check first is whether the May items marked beta or coming soon have moved. The Teamwork Graph is clearly on the bill either way. Two of the livestreamed sessions have it in the title: "Connected Context, Governed Action: Scaling Enterprise AI with the Teamwork Graph and Rovo" on Wednesday and "Maximising your context layer with the Teamwork Graph" on Thursday.
What LeanZero will look at in Amsterdam
We build Forge apps and run Atlassian migrations, so this series reads Team '26 Europe from those two seats. Agents in Jira matters to us because CogniRunner already puts AI into Jira workflows. Gabriela compared Rovo agent permissions with CogniRunner approvals on 4 October. I'd rather redo that comparison against whatever ships than guess. The MCP side matters because tool definitions are not free. Across ten real MCP servers we measured, 145 tool definitions came to 40,784 tokens, sent with every request. The schemas drove the cost. Not the tool count. Rovo MCP Server wasn't one of the ten, so how heavy the Teamwork Graph tools are is still an open question.
For a Forge developer, the sessions worth marking on Atlassian's recommended agendas page are three. One is already full. "Give coding agents the context behind the code with the Teamwork Graph" is on Tuesday at 13:30, repeated Wednesday at 10:45. "Operationalize Rovo agents with subagents, evaluations, and autonomy" is a hands-on Learning session, Tuesday at 11:00 and again Wednesday at 15:00. Both runs are already marked full. "Your Atlassian context, in Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI agent" is Wednesday at 10:45, repeated Thursday. Spot the clash? I would take the Tuesday run of the first one. The "Getting Started with Forge" workshop on Tuesday morning is full too.
Tomorrow is Day 1: breakouts from 10:00, the Expo from 13:00. Part 2 goes out tomorrow morning.
