Never at a company that made the news in the way Atlassian did, I can tell you that much. ;) It seems that people interpreted my comment as implying that the talk would be reviewed by some pointy haired boss stamping a stack of forms. That is not what I meant at all. Rather, that a talk presented at such a venue would be given and vetted internally first, if only for the sake of technical correctness. In my career, I have never given a talk (whether while working for a private company, research lab, etc) without it having been given to colleagues first- again, if only for technical correctness/typos/etc. So again, here either no one from Atlassian saw the talk until the day of, which is terrible. Or people from Atlassian saw the talk beforehand and no one objected at the slide- which is even worse.
