GOAT 2.0 - Delivering value while facing radical uncertainty.

Thursday, November 26, 2026
Ottawa Conference and Event Centre
One-day conference | Attendance capped at 250 participants

GOAT 2.0 is a focused, community-organized gathering for people who set direction, manage risk, and make difficult trade-offs across product, technology delivery, and organizational leadership.

Returning after a six-year hiatus, GOAT is built around active participation and practical exchange. This is not a broad conference or a day of passive slide presentations. It is a room of peers sharing hard-won experience, asking thoughtful questions, and working through the pressures reshaping how organizations deliver value while facing disruption.

The Theme: Radical Uncertainty

AI is fundamentally changing how technology is built while leaders face intense budget scrutiny, shifting investment priorities, evolving regulations, geopolitical disruption, and growing expectations around speed, efficiency, and resilience.

GOAT 2.0 is designed to uncover practical approaches for navigating, governing, and delivering value in the face of this uncertainty.

Who Should Attend?

GOAT 2.0 is intended for people who actively shape decisions and own outcomes, including:

Product and portfolio leaders responsible for roadmaps, features, and investment decisions
Delivery leaders working with Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, PMI, and other approaches
Technology and organizational leaders managing risk, governance, and systemic change
UX, change-management, and operational-enablement professionals
Experienced practitioners ready to contribute insights and questions

What to Expect

Morning panel discussions will explore:

Geopolitical and technology disruptions
The future of work and sustainable delivery models
The real advantages, structural costs, and risks of delivering value with AI

Afternoon breakout sessions will turn those ideas into candid, facilitated conversations between peers. Participants will compare experiences, challenge assumptions, and share practical advice.

Expect peer insight over presentation, real trade-offs over theory, and relevance over scale.
