Step into the shadows of the Night of the Living Data Center, where legacy systems creak and groan… but new life awaits in the cloud.
Together, we’ll uncover:
Team ’25 Highlights – Appfire
Catch the freshest updates and announcements from Atlassian’s flagship event, brought straight from the main stage to our community.
DC-to-Cloud Migrations – Atlassian & Eficode
Learn best practices, lessons learned, and Atlassian’s latest guidance on moving from the haunted halls of Data Center to the brighter, scalable world of cloud.
Expect lively discussions, practical takeaways, and a few spooky surprises along the way. Costumes are welcome (but not required!) and we’ll be giving out prizes for the best dressed!
Join us if you dare — and don’t get trapped in the Data Center graveyard!
PLEASE NOTE: This venue is not wheelchair accessible. We apologise for the inconvenience.
