Join us for a summer evening of smoky bites and sharp insights as the Boston Atlassian Community comes together for a special edition meetup focused on Developer Experience (DevEx).
Enjoy delicious BBQ and fresh perspectives on DevEx from Appfire’s Ed Gaile and Christopher Pepe. They’ll dive into how disconnected tools and siloed workflows create challenges for developers - and how unifying your tools, teams, and priorities through apps like Compass can drive clarity and success. Then, GitKraken’s Jeremy Castile joins us to explore why DevEx is now a strategic imperative—and how modern teams are transforming Git workflows into productivity drivers through thoughtful integration with tools like Jira.
We’ll be serving up award-winning BBQ from SmokeShop, alongside cold beverages and great conversation with fellow Atlassian users, admins, and builders.
Whether you're in engineering, product, or IT - if you care about delivering better experiences for your teams and end users, this event’s for you.
