Atlassian Summit is an annual even organized by an Australian producer of software for work management, among which the most popular ones are Jira and Confluence. This year’s party attracted over 4,5 thousand people connected with the brand. We have prepared a short summary concerning the most important topics and changes announced by our strategic business partner.
This year Atlassian Summit celebrated its decennary; this even was organized for the first time in Las Vegas, more precisely in a congress center of one of the most popular hotels of the city – Mandalay Bay. The choice of a place turned out to be a great one, most of all because of the number of participants. For comparison – in 2009, Atlassian Summit gathered approximately 400 people in a medium size Palace hotel in San Fransisco. Las Vegas faced 4,5 thousand of the event’s participants, which pictures the size and rank of the event after a decade.
One day before the official start of Atlassian Summit, there was Developer Day organized, an event dedicated to programmers. Since 8:45 till almost 18:00, the participants could choose between two topics which seemed interesting for them, and take part in one of the parallelly conducted presentation paths. Between the discussed issues, there were i.a.: building applications working in the cloud, extending functionality of Opsgenie tool, crucial information connected with personal data, which developers need to know, or adjusting chosen Atlassian’s solutions to specific needs. Between 9th and 11th April, there were another subject groups organized, dedicated to different types of specialists:
Atlassian, as a worldwide brand and business leader, create their slogans carefully and in a well-thought way. This year, they still emphasized the slogan „Unleash potential of every team” which calls for destroying silos between teams, providing them with solutions which will enable open communication and improve the workflow, and most of all, they will make it possible for them to believe that teamwork brings about the greatest results. Atlassian emphasizes the ‘human’ side of business; through their channels (blog, social media) they tell stories of employees and prove that it’s worth investing in and taking care of good atmosphere at work. „Unleash potential of every team” on the one hand touches issues connected with teamwork and caring for relationships, on the other hand – it corresponds with the offer. During Atlassian Summit 2019, you could realize that the brand begins underlining universality of their tools and possibility of customizing them to the needs of every business.
