Japan's Largest Engineering Community Qiita Sponsors 'AI DevEx Conference 2026,' to Exhibit Booth and Present Session

Qiita Inc. (headquartered in Nakamura-ku, Nagoya; President & CEO: Kensuke Shibata), a subsidiary of Ateam Holdings Co., Ltd. known for its creativity and technical expertise, which operates Qiita (Kita)—a service for recording and sharing engineering knowledge—announces its sponsorship and booth exhibition at the 'AI DevEx Conference 2026' to be held in Chiyoda City, Tokyo on July 22 (Wed) and 23 (Thu), 2026. Additionally, during the event, Tomoya Chiba, Lead Engineer at the company, will present a session on practical enablement case studies for transitioning to an 'AI-native organization.'

*Note: 'Largest' is based on market comparison with online engineering communities, referencing the IT Human Resources White Paper (2020 edition) and the company's registered user count and unique users.

Background of the Presentation

In recent years, the widespread adoption of generative AI has dramatically increased individual engineer productivity. However, new challenges have emerged in team development environments. While individual development speed accelerates, organizational development processes often fail to adapt to the AI era, frequently slowing down overall team velocity.

To address this issue, it is not enough to simply introduce new tools. Organizations need to create environments where teams can make decisions and act confidently, while also improving capabilities across the entire organization. At Qiita, we have practiced 'gentle enablement'—reducing friction in team development and maximizing the collective team strength.

In this session, we will share real-world case studies from our own experience. We hope these insights will serve as valuable references for other organizations facing similar challenges.

*Enablement: The process of building systems to improve organizational-wide skills and environments to sustain high performance.
