Here's what you can expect to see at Atlassian’s Apptoberfest and how you can participate:
💬 Weekly Community discussions
Community members and customers, like you, can share experiences and read stories about key apps for products such as Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and Bitbucket. Discussions will begin with a weekly prompt on the following topics:
On each of the above dates, a discussion will kick off and you will have until Oct 26, 2025 to contribute to all of the conversations. Note, there are badges and prizes up for grabs to the participants (outlined below).
🏆 App demo competition
Vote for your favorite demo in each of the four categories!
Each Community member participating will receive 1 vote per app category for a total of 4 votes. Categories include:
Demos will be posted by our wildly creative Marketplace Partners from Oct 1, 2025 to Oct 17, 2025 and the voting polls will close at the end of the day on Oct 26, 2025. We will have a winner in each category, and they will be announced the following week AND be entered into the finale Appy Hour Party.
Attention Marketplace Partners: If you’d like to participate in the demo competition, you will need to have an ‘Atlassian Partner’ lozenge on your Community Profile.
If you don’t have one yet, please familiarize yourself with the information and process outlined here and take the Partner Rules of Engagement Quiz as soon as possible to ensure you’re all set.
