Why events like Elevate matter

AI has moved beyond being a future trend - it's now becoming part of everyday work.

Microsoft's 2026 Work Trend Index describes a shift where AI agents increasingly handle execution, allowing people to spend more time directing work, making decisions and collaborating across teams.

That shift creates new questions for organisations:

• Which work should be automated?
• How should teams collaborate with AI?
• What processes need to change?
• How do you scale AI without creating more complexity?

These are exactly the kinds of discussions Elevate has been built around.

Something for every team

One of the strengths of this year's agenda is that it isn't just aimed at project managers.

Sessions are organised around real business functions, including:

• Marketing
• Sales
• IT
• Operations
• PMO
• Executive Leadership

Speakers come from organisations including:

• Google
• FedEx
• Meta
• Microsoft
• Amazon Web Services
• LinkedIn
• Monday.com

Rather than focusing purely on product demonstrations, many sessions explore how organisations are applying AI to solve everyday business challenges and improve collaboration.

Looking beyond features

Technology conferences often introduce new product capabilities - and that's certainly part of Elevate.

But arguably the bigger opportunity is hearing how other organisations are approaching change management, adoption and process improvement.

New software only creates value when people actually use it effectively.

That's why many organisations choose to work with experienced implementation partners alongside adopting new technology. At BDQ, we regularly help customers design processes, implement work management solutions and improve adoption through consultancy, training and practical implementation support. Our focus is always on making technology work for the business - not the other way around.

For example, when Universal Robots wanted to improve visibility and collaboration across their marketing teams, BDQ designed tailored Asana workflows and reporting that helped streamline campaign management while increasing accountability and efficiency.

If you're attending…

Whether you're travelling to New York or simply following the announcements remotely, it's worth spending some time browsing the agenda before the event.

A few tips:

• Bookmark sessions most relevant to your role.
• Look beyond product announcements to customer case studies.
• Pay attention to sessions covering AI adoption and governance - not just AI features.
• Make time for networking; some of the best ideas come from conversations between sessions.

Final thoughts

As AI continues to reshape how organisations plan, collaborate and deliver work, conferences like Elevate offer an opportunity to learn from both technology vendors and organisations already putting these ideas into practice.

Whether you're looking for practical advice, strategic insight or simply inspiration for your next work management initiative, the Elevate '26 agenda is well worth exploring.
