The Work Evolution Summit is organized by Life in Codes, Atlassian Solution Partner. Taking place between May 20-21st in Bucharest, it is the only regional event in CEE dedicated to improved work efficiency and collaboration.
After the success of the first edition in 2024, which targeted Romanian business leaders, the summit is expanding its reach to business and team leaders across Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Greece who are looking to give their teams back the time and focus.
“At the end of the day, we believe in the power of teamwork and we aspire to help people reach their full potential,” says Alexandru Constantinescu, CEO of Life in Codes.
Why now? Because across all industries and company sizes, inefficiency and outdated workflows cost organizations up to 20% of their workweek, according to McKinsey. With significant workplace dynamic and automation changes in the past years, professionals are often clogged with menial administrative tasks, unclear workflows, and inefficient collaboration.
On top of draining productivity and proactiveness, these are also the top reasons for disengaged employees who feel undervalued. The Work Evolution Summit helps flip this narrative by focusing on how organizations can reduce busywork and give their teams back the time and the power to focus on deep, value-driven tasks that truly matter.
Compact, Value-Based Sessions
Doing what it preaches, the event’s focus is delivering relevant practical insights in a short format, so attendees can expect real-world case studies from world class experts and immediately applicable practices.
With AI-infused tools reshaping collaboration standards, the summit offers hands-on workshops on implementing Agile methodologies, integrating AI into workflows, and optimizing knowledge management systems. In addition to the interactive workshops, attendees will have access to exclusive panel discussions covering practical challenges faced by leading regional companies, providing fresh perspectives on problem-solving. Although there are still some speakers to be communicated, two key figures in the Atlassian community have been already announced to attend the event:
Nikki Zavadska is a renowned Atlassian Creator with a deep understanding of Agile practices and productivity tools like Jira. Nikki will coordinate sessions on streamlining workflows through hands-on practices:
“Successful teams innovate how they work so they’re ready for what comes next. Whether that’s using AI to brainstorm, summarize, translate, or just save you from typos, it’s about making work work,” she said.
Justinian Difo, Atlassian Community Leader from New York, specializes in process optimization and creating impactful user experiences and shares his experience through practical examples.
AI-infused Workflows for High Performing Teams
At the Work Evolution Summit, attendees will learn leadership methods to help reduce workplace frustration, increase employee well-being and promote deeper, long-term engagement. The event explores how AI-powered tools can prepare organizations for future success by integrating advanced technologies while preserving the essential human aspects of collaboration. Because an engaged team means staying ahead of talent shortage trends, the speakers will teach CEE leaders to reframe leading productivity tools like Jira, Confluence, and Trello as enablers of meaningful work.
The summit spotlights success stories and lessons learned from organizations that have transformed their cultures, providing participants with relatable examples and clear benchmarks for their own organizational journeys.
On top of the sessions, participants have the opportunity to connect with other business leaders who value innovation, continuous improvement, and strategic collaboration. The networking sessions are designed so that executives, managers, and organizational leaders can find like-minded professionals.
