> Atlan is hosting Context Conference, bringing together the leaders and builders at the frontier of giving AI the context it needs to understand their business. It runs online on October 28, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET. Atlan co-founder Prukalpa Sankar opens and closes the day. Leaders from AstraZeneca, BNY and Verizon share why they invest in context and what they get from it. Registrants get early access to The AI Context Gap, a new study from MIT Technology Review Insights. Register: https://atlan.com/context-conference/

**360 degrees visibility for every asset.** From tables to dashboards, models to metrics, and columns to glossaries, every data asset is a first-class citizen in Atlan with its own unique 360 degrees view: data preview, column-level lineage, READMEs, linked resources, and embedded collaboration.

## Customer story: Autodesk

"Atlan can tell publishers the usage of the tables or data products that they build. Of course, it helps consumers find data and understand more about the data that's trustworthy. And for the platform team, we can understand what actually is being used in the platform, what's popular, what's not. All things that weren't possible before." - Mark Kidwell, Chief Data Architect, Data Platforms, Autodesk. [Read the full story](https://atlan.com/customers/autodesk-data-mesh-snowflake-atlan/)

## Data preview: get context by seeing your data

Seeing data, not just metadata, is part of 360 degrees context, so Atlan gives you a masked preview of all your tables.

- **Sample data preview:** an overview of what the data in your columns actually looks like.
- **Automatically masked:** sensitive data is hashed, redacted, or nullified based on access policies.
- **Usage popularity:** the most widely used tables, columns, and queries.

## Column-level lineage: trace, track, and trust your data

"It's been really hard to thread governance across the enterprise until now. This year, we're at a tipping point with Atlan's data products and contracts. We're all starting to speak the same language." - Sherri Adame, Data Governance Lead, GM

## README: hate documentation? We made it fun.

- **Crowdsource READMEs:** assign users to pull tribal knowledge right into your README.
- **Embed documentation:** make documentation come to life with native embeds.
- **Fast, beautiful formatting:** type / for Notion-like commands and formatting.

Use case: **a $6B fintech generates programmatic documentation.** Atlan's OpenAPIs push an automated README template to new Redshift assets in Atlan. The template standardizes documentation for developers with pre-defined sections and encourages asset owners to document on time. [API documentation](https://developer.atlan.com/)

## Resources: your connected command center

Find all the Slack discussions, GitHub links, and Confluence docs that connect to your asset, in one place. Tools shown: Slack, Google Sheets, Confluence, Jira, GitHub, Google Slides, Notion, Figma, Miro, Google Drive, Adobe Acrobat, Google Data Studio.

## Embedded collaboration: deep integrations, zero interruptions

Switching between apps disrupts flow. Atlan integrates natively with collaboration tools so you can work with your team without leaving Atlan.

- **Easy sharing:** a unique GitHub-like URL for every data asset.
- **Slack alerts:** send context-rich alerts and questions to Slack.
- **Announcements:** bubble up issues and warnings in Atlan.
- **Jira tickets:** spot a bug? Create a ticket directly from Atlan.

"As a user you discover your asset, you understand what that asset (is) with respect to the metadata that's been put into the catalog, you understand key KPIs and metrics right from your glossary, you understand about your domain and what top questions it answers, and how you really calculate a particular metric. Then, you navigate to Looker dashboards, right within the catalog." - Mihir Modi, Data Governance Manager, Fox
