Spring H2 Meeting 2026 – A Focus on Team Alignment and Product Ownership
In late July, Spring leadership and Spring teams from across the organization gathered in São Paulo for a company-wide meeting. The week celebrated what the teams achieved in the first two quarters of the year, and mapped the strategy for finishing the year strong.
The Spring company meeting included networking within the greater team, All-Hands sessions, workshops, presentations, demonstrations and more.
Culture
Tommy Bittner, CEO, made it a priority for the team to connect on a human level – getting to know one another at the onset of the meeting. With a group of more than 50 people and several new faces, Spring began with personal connection and team building before diving into the product and planning for the future.
“Bringing together more than 50 team members in person created meaningful opportunities for collaboration and relationship building that simply can’t be replicated virtually,” CFO Neha Bhuradia said.
Innovation
The team practiced product implementation, reviewed how the processes will work and considered how platform rollouts could be improved or communicated.
Slava Dobkin, Chief Product Officer, walked the company through the H2 product roadmap, which has already been shared and adhered to with marquee customers.
“It’s a transformation story. We started a transformation last year, and I would say we’re on our final stages of complete transformation of teams and process,” Dobkin said. “We’ve expanded our AI frameworks to other professional services teams like DevOps and data. [There’s] clarity around vision, and clarity around shared goals.”
One of the best exercises to showcase the talent and speed on the development team was a User Interface (UI) exercise, involving none other than Barbie®.
The team ran an entire feature end-to-end in a single day: ideation, PRD, architecture, engineering, testing, and deployment. All of this by using “Barbie Mode” to turn the whole app pink and instantly expose where a bigger UI change would break before it ever touched a customer.
Progress
The team came together at a pivotal moment – celebrating the success of the first half of the year and honoring the hard work along the way, as well as laying out what the goals are for the immediate months ahead.
“The leadership team clearly articulated how we will build on this momentum over the next two quarters, giving employees confidence that we have a focused plan and are executing against it,” said Bhuradia. “The product deep dive was particularly well received.”
