Full-Day In-Person Atlassian Forge Workshop

Join your fellow Atlassian enthusiasts at the Palm Beach County ACE for an exclusive full-day, hands-on Forge workshop presented by Caterina Curti (Atlassian Advocate)! We will start from the basics and show you how to tailor Atlassian Cloud to your team—by extending and automating your existing workflows.
The day is structured as two immersive sessions with time in between for networking, lunch, and informal conversations with your local community.🕘 Morning Session (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM)Forge Fundamentals & First apps
In the morning, we’ll focus on the core concepts you need to get started with Forge and get your first apps up and running through practical examples.

You’ll learn:

Essential CLI commands for creating, deploying and adding apps to a site

The core Forge capabilities (modules)

How to call Atlassian and external APIs within Forge’s permissions model

How to manage your frontend and backend with Forge resolvers

By the end of this session, you’ll have a working Forge app deployed to a test Atlassian Cloud site, and a clear understanding of how all the pieces fit together.🕑 Afternoon Session (2:00 PM – 5:00 PM)
Applied Forge: real‑world use cases
In the afternoon, we’ll go deeper into practical and use cases, and shape the session based on what matters most to you.

Depending on what matters most to you, we can explore things like:

Admin tools that simplify day‑to‑day management and governance

Custom fields and macros that pull external data into Jira and Confluence

Dashboards and views that surface the metrics your team actually cares about

A link‑enforcer pattern to keep work items and content consistent

How to combine Forge and Automation so you can “build once” and let rules do the heavy lifting

All of this—and more—is possible with Forge. Help us pick the topics that matter most to you, and we’ll tailor the walkthroughs based on the attendees interests.
