✨ Event Description:
This is where everything comes together.

After two virtual sessions of learning Forge fundamentals, it’s time to build. The Saturday Buildathon, high-energy sprint where teams design, develop, and ship a working Atlassian app that solves a real logic or workflow problem.

Your mission: Deliver a functional app with a live demo by sunrise.

This is not just about code, it’s about collaboration, problem-solving, and shipping under pressure.

🏆 Goal of the Buildathon:
Ship a working app that meaningfully improves workflow or solves a real logical challenge inside Jira or Confluence.

👉 Why Participate?
• Experience the thrill of building under real-world constraints
• Apply Forge, UI Kit, storage, and extension point knowledge in practice
• Collaborate deeply with your team
• Gain visibility, recognition, and feedback
• Walk away having shipped a real product

One night. One challenge. One shipped app.

Let’s build something unforgettable. 🌅🔥
