In the wake of Team ā22, just mere weeks ago, we were left with some amazing announcements and product insights from Atlas, Compass and Jira Product Discovery to Atlassianās Partner of the Year and Team Awards! And whilst all good things must eventually come to an end, thereās always more exciting things around the cornerā¦ especially in the Atlassian Ecosystem!
So without further ado, I hope you'll join me in celebrating some of the most exciting initiatives in the Atlassian Community this month š¤©

šļø PM72 Summit - Jexo
A first of its kind, the PM72 Summit is not only a 72-hour virtual project management event full of discussion panels and sessions by expert speakers in the project management space - from managing risk, change and operations, to teamwork and everything else in between. It is a 72-hour charitable virtual event striving to help the Malala Fund make an impact and continue working for a world where all girls can learn and leadĀ š
And whatās bigger, with more than a month still to go Jexo, the Atlassian Community, Marketplace Vendors and Solution Partners have generously surpassed the initial goal of $30,000 USD. Just look at the accumulative love of the Atlassian Ecosystem belowā¦
š PM72 will take place in June on 14, 15th, and 16th, and it will be streamed over 72 hours on Jexoās YouTube channel. But before then, you can earmark your favourite talks in advance, as the long-awaited speaker line-up with over 50 sessions was released this week.Ā
Tune in withĀ @Nikki Zavadska _Appfire_Ā &Ā @Biro FlorinĀ on their 'Weekly Atlassian News Roundup' Podcast on Mondays andĀ learn how you can get involved here.

š£ļø Around America in 12 ACE's ā Old Street Solutions
And to round off our April highlights, here's an Atlassian Community favourite! As if the excitement of Team ā22 wasnāt enough for @Fun Man AndyĀ and the OSS team, theyāve decided to elongate their stay in the US all in the name of ACE! We're talking 3 weeks and 3,000 miles of driving š¤Æ
I hope youāve been able to follow if not join the OSS ACE tour as they journey around the US to share the word of Team '22 and generally bring the joy back to in-person events. For many it was their first in-person Atlassian Community Event in a couple of years, and theyāve certainly been making up for lost time...
