🎉 Boston ACE is back in person! 🤝 Highlights from Atlassian Team ’25

Hey Boston ACE community,

It’s been a while - let’s fix that. We’re excited to welcome you back for our first in-person meetup in quite some time!

Whether you joined us at Team ’25 in Anaheim, caught a few updates online, or haven’t had a chance to tune in at all, this event is for you. We’ll walk through the biggest announcements, explore ways to get more involved, and leave plenty of room for casual networking with fellow attendees.

We’ll cover:

📣 Key takeaways from Atlassian Team ’25, including Rovo and AI-powered collaboration

🌟 How to get more involved in the Atlassian Community and become a Champion

📚 Learning and enablement paths that support career growth

🚀 A look at what’s next for our Boston chapter (and how you can help shape it!)

There’ll be food, drinks, and time to connect with fellow admins, users, and fans from around the Boston area. Plus, we’ll be raffling off gift cards and Atlassian certification vouchers.

We can’t wait to see you there!
