Ever wondered how Smartsheet uses Smartsheet to plan ENGAGE?Tracking attendee numbers and demographics across 64 sessions is complex and slow. See how our team runs it all with Board View, Data Shuttle, and the MCP Server, while keeping senior leaders updated on conference progress. What used to eat hours now takes minutes each week. Join us to see how the process works today, and how AI is reshaping it.

For builders, two questions decide the job: are we on schedule, and are we on budget? Keeping both current usually means hours of manual updates, retyping a GC's schedule, chasing change documents, reconciling budgets. Two former construction professionals show how Smart Assist can carry that load: turning an outside schedule or a stack of documents into structured tasks and budget lines, flagging what's slipping or over budget before it hurts, and keeping the numbers honest, so your team spends time building, not updating spreadsheets.

Your teams are already using AI. The question is whether anyone can see what AI initiatives running, who is building then, which ones are worth scaling, what it's costing, and what's the ROI/savings associated with them? For the people responsible for making AI work in the real world, adoption created a new job nobody was staffed for: managing it. This session names the operational challenges of AI adoption honestly, then shows how Smartsheet solution gives teams a way to bring order to it without building governance from scratch.

You depend on teams that don't report to you, and when a handoff slips, you absorb the consequence with no real leverage to prevent it. This session shows how to build cross-functional coordination that holds: a single record everyone works from, handoffs with clear ownership and visible status, and intake and routing that move work between functions without re-keying or chasing. Bring a cross-functional process that breaks at the handoff today and leave with an architecture for making ownership clear across teams you don't control.

Know the basics of automation, but want to dive deeper? This session covers advanced automated workflows to save time, drive collaboration, and enforce consistent processes. We'll dive into different trigger setups, how to use condition paths, and how to combine actions and workflows to create simple yet powerful automated processes.

Smartsheet has been adopted. So, what next? True success is when a tool disappears into how your organization actually operates. In this session, we explore how Christoph Hoffmann and the team at Zeiss developed a governance framework that placed Smartsheet at the heart of their business infrastructure. From a Project Management Handbook built around Smartsheet to real-time project dashboards replacing PowerPoint packs (and meetings) Christoph shares practical examples that can serve as a replicable model of success for your organizations.

Modern enterprise project management faces a critical scaling trap: as work complexity and market reach grow, manual processes for data capture, RAID tracking, and status reporting quickly exceed the capacity of even the most skilled teams. This session explores how Omnicom bridges this gap by integrating frontier AI models with Smartsheet via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Attendees will see a practical way to incorporate Generative AI into their most complex workstreams to streamline the flow of information in and out while maintaining a strong 'human in the loop' decision making cycle.

Every organization faces the same tension: business teams want to move fast on AI, while IT needs security, governance, and proof of ROI first, often resulting in stalemate or shadow AI. Using Smartsheet MCP as the foundation, we cover the three conversations that matter most: security (how MCP preserves existing permissions), value (productivity gains from AI reading, writing, and reasoning across your data), and adoption (ready-made prompts that make AI an everyday habit). Attendees leave with a repeatable framework and conversation kit of prompts, proof points, and architecture references.

Savills runs a 7-year client programme with 37 live projects, each built by hand and maintained by one person, with growth toward 100+ projects. Manual work can't scale. Programme Director Victoria ter Kuile shares how she rebuilt Savills' PMO using Control Center, Blueprints, Global Updates, and Dynamic View. See how one governed blueprint spins up projects automatically, pushes portfolio-wide changes in minutes, and cuts single-person risk, turning the PMO from status chaser into strategic delivery enabler.

You have the data. The real test is whether it moves anyone to act. This session is for experienced Smartsheet users ready to make their dashboards decisive, not just informative. We'll get into the design decisions that drive decisions: what to put first, what to cut, how layout and color guide the eye, and how to tell a story with data that lands whether you're in front of the C-suite or a frontline team. Leave able to build a dashboard that doesn't just get looked at, it gets acted on.

Table replaces grid. Board replaces card. A reimagined Gantt is here. Table-based reports are coming. This isn't cosmetic — the original views weren't built for what's next. This session tells the full story: why a rebuild was necessary, what the new views do that the originals never will, and what's on the roadmap. Then we get practical: transition plans and timelines, how to influence what comes next through feedback and early access, and the change management resources admins and SMEs need to bring every team along.

Building a robust Smartsheet deployment at Memorial Health in Illinois required deliberate governance, architecture, and automation. Sam Mueller deployed Smartsheet across the business - PMO, Marketing, Finance, HR, Supply Chain - building dozens of Control Center blueprints, Dynamic Views, and Data Shuttle configurations. Smartsheet powers the DAISY and Sunflower Award program, where patient nominations funnel through committees and recognition scales across all sites. Discover the key lessons behind their enterprise success and what they are working on next.

Automation is evolving from rigid, rule-based flows into intelligent, agentic workflows that connect your whole stack — with no technical expertise needed. You'll learn how Smart Automations let you build workflows in plain language with AI actions at any step, how Smart Integrations turn the tools you already use into a unified workflow engine, and how AI agents are evolving alongside both — from on-demand skills, to scheduled work, to operating continuously. Leave ready to design workflows that scale your team's capacity.

Disconnected sheets. No visibility, no consistency, no clear owner. This session shows how to move from sprawl to standardized operations — using AI to remove friction and Portfolios to maintain visibility at scale.You'll learn how to:- Diagnose your landscape and identify the user patterns inside it- Turn those patterns into standardized operations using AI and Portfolios- Drive adoption through standardized prompts and repeatable structureWalk away with a clear path from scattered sheets to governed, scalable operations.

In this session System Admins will learn how to use AI to simplify managing users, seats, and get usage insights faster with MCP server and Admin agent. We will also cover exciting improvements in Smartsheet governance and management that make System Admins more productive while staying in control.

Your projects kept getting bigger. Gantt view caught up. In this demo-driven session, see what's changed: 50,000-line schedules, autosave and live updates, faster predecessor editing, and a redesigned baseline and variance experience—rebuilt for speed and scale. Then look ahead at what this foundation enables: improved critical path calculation, cross-sheet dependency linking, multiple baselines and comparisons, and program-level tracking. Plus Smart Assist AI to execute it all faster. Come ready to take notes. Leave ready to run your largest projects.

Stop compiling operations data manually. Build a real-time operational health dashboard that surfaces deviations early and gives leadership the trusted live picture they need. In this hands-on session, you'll learn best practices, explore Smartsheet latest operations capabilities, and watch a an AI-powered template be configured. Perfect for operations leaders ready to transform how they manage performance. Attendees will not only walk away with best practices, but get access to a template set to get them started.

Understanding your PMO's maturity changes how you invest. It shows you what to prioritize now and what to build toward later. This session is your roadmap. You'll assess your current level, understand your stage-specific constraints and opportunities, and learn what capabilities drive real progress. The goal: clarity on your journey from here to where you want to be, not some idealized state, but a realistic roadmap based on your actual starting point.

Most organizations capture individual AI time savings that never compound at the team level. Drawing from experience building an AI practice inside Smartsheet Professional Services, this session identifies four structural conditions — information availability, decision architecture, measurement, and authority — required for AI gains to scale. See how Smartsheet, through MCP integration, became the governed source of truth for priorities, decisions, and work — aggregating data from Slack, Google Workspace, and Zoom, turning individual productivity gains into team velocity.

Automating a bad process only creates faster chaos. To scale AI and avoid generic outputs, organizations must first master process mapping. This session highlights how human operational design meets the Smartsheet Intelligent Work platform. Discover how process visualization clarifies roles, exposes inefficiencies, and builds the foundation for your Smartsheet deployment. Learn to pair human judgment with Smartsheet execution to keep your workflows smart, scalable, and slop-free.

Your Control Center portfolio has grown, your templates have evolved, and your provisioned projects haven't kept up. Now even simple updates demand extra time and effort. Sound familiar? Through the story of a real single-tier, 2,000-project portfolio, you'll see how Enhanced Global Updates (EGU) pushes new sheet templates, cross-sheet references, and more across every project at once — no Bridge or API skills needed. You'll leave knowing whether your portfolio is EGU-ready, how to approach closing years of template drift, and options to prevent the problem from recurring.

As agentic AI proliferates, the questions of security, governance, and control come into sharper focus. Join us as we share our perspective, our product, and our plans: how we think about building AI responsibly, the controls available to govern AI today, and the capabilities on our roadmap. You'll walk away with a practical sense for how Smartsheet intends to safeguard users, data, and trust in the AI era.

Do you think standing up a Smartsheet solution takes weeks and skills you don't have? It doesn't have to! This session takes you inside a fully built, working solution and pulls back the curtain on exactly how it comes together. You will learn the specific, repeatable skills, concepts, and best practices that make standing up solutions fast, easy to maintain, and simple to hand off to the next team. Whether you are refining an existing solution or leveling up how you build the next one, this session is designed to leave you with real techniques you can put to work immediately.

Transform your sheets from good to great with indispensable helper column formulas. This session reveals how to implement "set-and-forget" solutions for automating conditional formatting based on hierarchy, designing customized auto-numbers, crafting relative-position column formulas, and enhancing your automation workflows for unparalleled efficiency. These formulas will be your secret sauce for building robust, low-maintenance sheets that improve your Smartsheet experience.

PMOs and ops teams lose hours every week rebuilding the same status decks, ExCo briefings, and board updates by hand, even with live dashboards already in place. This session shows how AI can pull straight from that live data to generate polished, boardroom-ready reports in exactly the format each audience needs, in minutes. You'll watch a board deck and an executive briefing get built live, on stage, using natural-language prompts. Leave with the prompting principles to apply this to your own reporting challenges.

Before AI, becoming an advanced formula user meant memorizing functions and mastering syntax. Now that AI writes complex formulas from plain-language prompts, advanced users stand apart by knowing how to describe their goals, which functions to request intentionally, and how to fix what AI can't see. We'll cover prompting AI for formulas, explore functions worth requesting by name (MOD, VALUE, COLLECT, HAS, INDEX, MATCH), and troubleshoot beyond syntax issues. You'll leave able to build a final formula faster with fewer errors, and create efficient operations through smarter automation.

Many IT teams trust the Smartsheet API but are wary of "AI." Here's the secret: MCP is the API. Every MCP tool call runs through the same permissions and infrastructure your IT team already approved. This session goes deep on what the API actually does today, like standardized project structures, bulk operations, and webhook-triggered automations, and shows how that same foundation, plus growing audit visibility, powers MCP tomorrow. Attendees leave understanding that adopting the API now means AI readiness later.

Hear our vision for the future of the Smartsheet product. See a preview of upcoming capabilities and early-stage concepts we're still shaping, and learn how to get early access to our latest innovations.

Scale breaks things. Here's how the Smartsheet API fixes that. Every Builder and Architect hits the same wall: what works for one sheet or project breaks down at ten, fifty, or five hundred. This session shows how the Smartsheet API solves the "one-to-many" problem through three use cases: standardized project plans across dozens of engagements, replicating a proven structure at scale, and webhook-triggered automations reacting to changes in real time. This is a pattern library: attendees see the API building blocks (templates, bulk operations, webhooks) that solve all three.

Most organizations have AI running somewhere. Leaders have it running everywhere — across individuals, teams, and the whole org. We'll start with a quick grounding in what we mean by AI and how to get the best value from it (no AI background required), then move straight into examples you can use immediately, from Smart Assist and Smart Columns to the AI Dashboard Builder, MCP connectors, and more. You'll leave knowing which capability to reach for at the individual, team, and org level — and how the value compounds as adoption grows.

Your teams already live in their AI tools — so bring Smartsheet to them. This hands-on deep dive covers the Smartsheet MCP connector for Microsoft Copilot. Ask about overdue tasks, risks, or workloads and get live answers straight from Smartsheet data. Update projects, reassign work, or generate reports, all without leaving Copilot. You'll see live demos of how it works and how to set it up for your team. We'll also talk through how to connect to Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini — connecting your live work data to the AI tool of your choice.

In this session, we will guide you through each step of a common project intake process, demonstrating how to create a complete workflow in Smartsheet — from diagramming your solution and creating forms to automating steps and visualizing data with reports and dashboards.

Everyone's talking about AI. Fewer people are showing what it looks like when it's doing real work. This session follows a PMO lead through a single workday, moving from scattered morning inputs to a clear plan of action, with AI as a genuine working teammate. You'll see a live portfolio briefing, a resource analysis that surfaces capacity risks before they become problems, and an intake agent that turns a conversation into a structured project request. No AI background required.

A good dashboard is easier to build than most people think, and the newest features make it faster than ever. This practical, build-focused session starts from a blank canvas and covers best practices that work at any level. Then we put the latest tools to work, drafting a dashboard in seconds with AI, using the new chart widget for clarity, and adding global filters so one view serves every audience. Whether you're building your first dashboard or you're a pro who hasn't caught up on the latest features, you'll leave with an approach you can use right away.
