Key takeaways
Six Team '26 Europe recordings are already free on Atlassian's YouTube channel, no account needed: the Founder Keynote (1:26:25) and all five Solution Keynotes, uploaded on Friday 9 October between 22:00 and 22:21 CEST.
Everything else waits for the on-demand library, which says 12 October (the FAQ says 11 October). On Saturday 10 October, 21 of its 22 session cards said Sign in to watch and the 22nd said Coming Soon.
The Closing Keynote, the 11 breakouts and the 4 panels aren't on YouTube. You'll need a free registration for them. Atlassian's digital event page says the Closing Keynote stays on demand until 7 November 2026.
If you build on Forge, watch the Teamwork Graph sessions with the developer docs open: Teamwork Graph data access for apps is labelled EAP, and for now an app can call the API or provide a connector, not both.
Team '27 Europe is set for 5 to 7 October 2027 in Copenhagen, by Atlassian's save-the-date page.
Atlassian Team '26 Europe on demand doesn't open until 12 October, according to Atlassian's on-demand library (its FAQ says 11 October). But six of the recordings are already out. On Friday night Atlassian put the Founder Keynote and all five Solution Keynotes on its YouTube channel. They're free, with no account.
The rest needs a free registration in the library once it opens. That's the Closing Keynote, 11 breakouts and 4 panels. On Saturday 10 October I couldn't find any of them anywhere public.
This is the last part of our series. Below: what's out, what's still locked, the sessions I'd watch as a Forge builder, and what we take home.
Atlassian Team '26 Europe on demand: what's out and what opens on 12 October
The library page says it plainly: "On-demand content will be available starting on 12 October." It still said that early on Saturday 10 October. It lists 22 session cards: 2 keynotes, 5 Solution Keynotes (Atlassian's keynotes for each product area), 11 breakouts and 4 panels. 21 of them say Sign in to watch. The 22nd says Coming Soon. The FAQ says "starting 11 Oct" and adds that "Select sessions will be recorded". So not everything you saw on the agenda will be there.
Registration is free. The FAQ says "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." It also promises captions in English, Spanish, French, Japanese and German in the library. The YouTube copies only have auto-generated captions. Next to the six sessions, the channel also has 6 highlight reels from the week, 1:15 to 2:07 long.
The YouTube uploads went up between 22:00 and 22:21 CEST on Friday. That's two days after the Founder Keynote. Last year's Team '25 Europe Founder Keynote went up the same evening it ran, and most breakouts followed nine days later. Will this year's breakouts follow the same way? I don't know.
Illustration, generated locally with FLUX. Six Team '26 Europe sessions are on YouTube now, and the rest stay locked in the library until 12 October. The six come to just over four hours, which is a start on the weekend.
Team '26 Europe Founder Keynote: Your business knows better
Start here. It's the only session the FAQ says you can watch without registering, and it's on YouTube too. Atlassian's session page lists Tamar Yehoshua, Sherif Mansour, Mike Cannon-Brookes and Taroon Mandhana. The YouTube upload runs 1:26:25.
I was in the hall, and part 5 has what I saw, including the agents-on-the-board demo I liked most. The agent sessions part starts at about 1:08. In the hall the keynote ended with a power cut, mid-sentence, and in part 5 I said I didn't know whether the recording had the last minutes. Atlassian's livestream replay, in the same playlist, breaks off right there, mid-word, and after that it's only music. The edited upload doesn't. It has a different take of that closing, and it runs to the thank-you to Atlassian's teams and the event staff. So you get an ending, just not the take we heard in the hall.
Team '26 Europe Solution Keynotes on YouTube: the four I'd watch
All five Solution Keynotes are on YouTube. If you build on Forge or run Jira, these are the four I'd pick, in this order.
Beyond code generation: Making agentic software delivery work (31:24). The session page promises an AI-assisted workflow "that starts with customer discovery and continues through planning, orchestration, delivery, and measurement". Watch it next to Atlassian's AI SDLC post. The labels matter. "Code Context is gradually rolling out to paid Atlassian customers through open beta." Record for Agent is "available now in open beta". "Agent Sessions and Interactive PR Reviews in Loom are in closed EAP." Only the DX AI Measurement solution is "now generally available."
Scaling Enterprise AI with the Teamwork Graph and Rovo (49:05). The governance one: agent orchestration, the Teamwork Graph, data protection. Building Forge apps? Keep the Teamwork Graph developer docs open while you watch. The data access part is labelled "Accessing data in Teamwork Graph (EAP)". And for now, says the page, "an app can either call the Teamwork Graph API or provide a custom connector, but it can't do both at the same time." Decide that before you write any code.
Team '26 Europe Closing Keynote on demand: What becomes possible
The Closing Keynote isn't on YouTube. Its library card says 73 minutes, and Atlassian's digital event page says it's "Available on demand until 7 November 2026". It's the only card there with an end date. The session page lists Brian Duffy, Hannah Waddingham, Hilary Lanham of Lloyds Banking Group, Amit Puntambekar of Reddit and Mike Cannon-Brookes. It was billed as a customer panel first, then a fireside chat with Hannah Waddingham.
We have no notes of our own from Thursday. I still couldn't find anything Atlassian published about what was said. So it waits for the library, like the rest of us.
Team '26 Europe Digital: the sessions worth watching when the library opens
These are the breakouts and panels I'd queue for Monday. All of them are in the library, behind the sign-in. Running times are from the library cards.
Maximising your context layer with the Teamwork Graph (43 min). Axel Springer on connecting org charts, code and design tools to Rovo. The page promises "a practical framework for configuring context-aware AI that respects permissions".
Build agentic workflows your whole team can use (39 min). Rovo Studio with Centric Software, "no coding experience required". Atlassian's own Rovo Studio docs give it no status label, so check your site before you plan around it.
The Williams F1 breakout, "From Loom to live in hours", is the one I'm least sure about. Its card has no running time and a Coming Soon image, so I wouldn't count on it.
What we take home from Team '26 Europe
I wrote in part 5 that the keynote didn't wow me much, but it was progress, with lots of Rovo. The best of the week was the people. On Monday at Partner Accelerate we met partners and other Forge developers. On Wednesday we went through the gauntlet of Atlassian's people to explain our apps.
Our braindates gave us feedback on all three of our apps, and we kept shipping all week. Marketplace lists 15 versions of our apps between 5 and 9 October: 11 for CogniRunner, 2 for Sentinel Vault and 2 for LeanZero Management. Since Gabriela's recap, CogniRunner 7.7.0 to 7.12.0 went out, the last two on Saturday. If you use its deploy pipelines or Bitbucket connections, some of those need you. 7.9.0 says "Set each deploy pipeline up again (Agents, Setup, Pipeline); until then it starts no deploy." 7.10.0 moves Bitbucket connections to Bitbucket access tokens and asks you to "add an access token to each Bitbucket connection under Agents, Setup, and revoke the old API token at id.atlassian.com". 7.11.0 asks you to store a new Forge app's id on its pipeline card, from the first run's log. Until then, it says, "every run registers the app again". If you made an agent with Describe a job, read the 7.8.0, 7.11.0 and 7.12.0 notes too. Each has a step for agents made on an earlier version.
Each of the three apps also has a public Jira project now, on our demo site leanzero-demo.atlassian.net: CRT, SVT and LZMT. They list what recent releases changed and the bugs we know about: 8 open for CogniRunner, 6 for Sentinel Vault and 10 for LeanZero Management. Some release-note lines stay out on purpose, security ones among them. Two of the projects use our internal version numbers (CogniRunner 7.10.0 is 1.33.0 there, LeanZero Management 6.1.0 is 4.18.1). If you'd rather try the apps than read about them, the demo site gives you five days of access, free, extendable up to three times.
Illustration, generated locally with FLUX. We left Amsterdam with braindate feedback on all three of our apps, and Marketplace lists 15 versions of them that week. The suitcases were the light part.
Planning next year already? Atlassian has Team '27 on 20 to 22 April 2027 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Team '27 Europe is 5 to 7 October 2027 in Copenhagen. Gabriela's recap said we couldn't find a European date. It's there now, on the digital event page.
Part 7: this one, the last. Thanks for reading along.
Qwen3.8 Flash vs Max Prime: the cheap one beat the flagship on our Forge benchmark
Qwen3.8 Flash beat Qwen3.8 Max Prime on an Atlassian Forge app built with no internet, 0.7961 to 0.6953, and lost to it on a payments web app, 0.6846 to 0.8364. Every check behind both results, the one manifest line that decided Forge, a probe in which neither model showed it knew the rule until it was handed the docs sentence, and what fine-tuning our own 27B taught us about forgetting.
