AI transformation doesn’t succeed without people at the center. At Atlassian, HR is leading the way. Our People team believes that the best AI culture isn’t mandated from the top. It’s built by meeting employees where they are, partnering with leaders across the business, and making AI part of how work gets done from day one. See how Atlassian’s HR team is building a culture of experimentation where everyone builds, and what that looks like in practice.

For years, we were told we were escaping hardware. Virtualization, containers, and Kubernetes made the underlying servers practically invisible to the average application developer. Then came the AI boom and infrastructure got incredibly weird again. In this fast-paced lightning talk, Billy Olson from Canonical breaks down why the modern AI server is no longer just a machine, but a volatile distributed system packed inside a single chassis.

Your best engineer spent 500,000 tokens last week. Nothing shipped. There's a name for it now: tokenmaxxing. Failed prompts, dead PRs, code that never reaches production — it looks like productivity, but it isn't. Most engineering leaders can't tell you what percentage of AI-generated code actually ships, or where the budget went. You should be able to say "that bug cost me $2,700 in tokens to fix.".

Civo Platform Engineer M R Rishi demonstrates how to go from zero to self-hosted AI in minutes using Konstruct. While most teams are stuck managing thousands of configuration values across multiple models and tools, Rishi shows how Konstruct eliminates that complexity with GPU cluster provisioning, GitOps catalog deployments, and production-ready infrastructure on day zero.
