Day 2 Keynote
Thursday, Nov 5 | 9:00AM - 10:00AM
Details
See what changes when AI works from a live system of record instead. A missed date surfaces before it becomes a problem. A dependency is flagged before downstream teams are impacted. An entire process runs autonomously, its guardrails built into the sheet itself, not the prompt. Decisions are made with confidence.
This is what AI looks like when it's integrated into your workflows, not a summary export. You'll see it live at this event: how the very sessions you're sitting in were created by humans working together with agents in Smartsheet. Leave with inspiration and momentum leading into the rest of the day’s sessions.

Jean-Alix Duplantier
Manager, Creative Production
Originally hailing from New Orleans, Jean-Alix descends from a long line of Cajun miscreants and roustabouts. They studied graphic design at Southeastern Louisiana University and spent much of their career working in all aspects of commercial print, from design to press operation. Most of that time was spent in publications, where Jean-Alix developed a passion for automation, leveraging scripting and software tools to scale up layout and production of full lines of branded books for offset printing. In 2021, Jean-Alix’s path took a sharp turn. Having already lived through the devastation of Hurricane Katrina years before, Jean-Alix felt a new urgency to leave the Gulf Coast after a direct hit from Hurricane Ida. As fate would have it, an opportunity at Wizards of the Coast came along shortly after. Jean-Alix landed in Creative Production as a Technical Artist for packaging, where their background in automated layouts and a previous stint as a packaging prototype engineer were equally relevant. They have had a hand in the production of dozens of product packaging designs across nearly twenty Magic releases. Two years later, Jean-Alix stepped up to help lead the Technical Artists on the cards team. As it turns out, automating book layouts is a lot like automating card layouts. Jean-Alix leans on their technical chops to keep graphic design workflows running smoothly, and on a kindness-first approach to managing people. As if that wasn’t enough, Jean-Alix also lends a hand with charity fundraising and Pride activations around the office, in pursuit of their philosophy that one can change the world one small act of kindness at a time. In their spare time, Jean-Alix is an avid gamer, having been all but born with a joystick in their hand. They cut their baby teeth on the earliest Atari home consoles and grew up embroiled in the console wars of the ’90s and ’00s, and they still play on console today. They are also an entrenched tabletop gamer, playing in multiple traditional tabletop RPG campaigns and keeping a small hoard of board games. When not gaming, they are a caring dog dad and a custodian of their grandmother’s gumbo recipe."\
