Details
Join us for an exciting evening at the Roseate Hotel, Readingās most stunning venue, right by Forbury Park (5 minutes walk from Reading Train Station). Weāve reserved their private cinema (yes, an actual cinema), so while we could screen a blockbuster afterward, we figured helping you scale your Atlassian tools like a pro might be even better!
Whether you're a startup looking to streamline workflows or an enterprise aiming for seamless collaboration, this event dives deep into how to make Atlassian work for you at any scale. Weāll cover real-world strategies to optimize your tools, avoid common pitfalls, and drive success across your teams.
But itās not all businessāexpect the latest buzz from my Atlassian News segment, plus plenty of pizza, beer, and networking with fellow Atlassian enthusiasts. šš»
You donāt want to miss this one, grab your seat, some popcorn and letās make Atlassian simple (and fun)!

Data loss or cyber-attacks can cripple any business, but for organizations with strict business continuity requirements, the consequences can be significant.
