monday.com is scheduled to hold Elevate on Oct. 28–29, 2026, at New York’s Javits Center, giving workplace and technology leaders a near-term opportunity to examine how its AI agents fit into everyday operating processes.
The company’s Sept. 29 program announcement confirms the event and an Oct. 27 pre-conference Certification Day. The event site lists a free opening-keynote livestream for Oct. 28 at 11 a.m. Eastern. This preview identifies questions to take into the program; it does not assume that demonstrations will establish enterprise-wide results.
Start with a specific operating task
The published agenda includes introductory agent sessions for operations, management and other functions, alongside app-building workshops using the company’s Vibe environment. It also lists a session on managing people in an agent-oriented workplace.
Some learning sessions are marked as requiring reservations. Registered attendees should check those requirements while building their schedules, rather than assuming that event admission guarantees a workshop place.
For managers evaluating those sessions, a useful starting point is one bounded task: what information arrives, what action the agent proposes or takes, and who remains responsible for the result. A demonstration is more informative when attendees can follow that entire sequence rather than seeing only a successful output.
Those are evaluation questions, not claims that the products lack controls. The event should give prospective users a chance to ask how an automated workflow handles incomplete records, conflicting instructions and exceptions that require a person.
Separate setup from sustained delivery
The agenda includes an IT and project-management roundtable with CMC on consistency, visibility and governance. It also advertises customer stories. Those formats offer different evidence: a workshop can explain configuration, while a customer presentation can describe operating experience. Neither automatically proves that a different organization will get the same result.
Attendees should ask presenters to distinguish time spent building an initial workflow from the continuing work of maintaining data, reviewing changes and supporting users. Any claimed benefit is easier to evaluate when its baseline, measurement period and scope are clear.
Bring the questions back to the team
The most useful follow-up would be a limited evaluation with a named process owner, explicit permissions and a way to stop or reverse unsuitable actions. That is a suggested management approach, not an announced requirement of monday.com’s event.
Teams watching the keynote remotely can use the same discipline: record what the company actually announces, separate available capabilities from future plans, and request supporting documentation before changing production workflows. The business value of the preview lies in preparing that scrutiny, not predicting what the company will unveil.
