Hi @Ananjan_miniOrange - thanks for the post.

I would say my first Team conference as a Community Leader back in 2022. It was a great experience meeting so many fellow leaders and making new connections.

One of my personal highlights was meeting you at that Team event @John Funk!

While the Atlassian Team events have been awesome, I have a different favorite.

My previous company (I guess two companies ago) was purchased by a company based out of Santa Barbara, California in November 2014. In the following 19 months, I would spend one week a month in either Santa Barbara, Amsterdam or Singapore at one of the new company's offices. I made a decision that if I was going to travel so often and be away from my family that much I needed to take some 'me' time on each trip. That resulted in some amazing memory making events alone and with work colleagues.

Kayaking with seals in the Pacific Ocean. Cycling along the perimeter of the Netherlands. Jogging through Eucalyptus forests. All of these were amazing experiences I gifted myself by planning ahead on each excursion.

About 8 months after moving to England for a job with a company in Cambridge, my boss and I went to a Win Writers (online help tools) conference in San Jose, CA.

One afternoon, my boss and I were strolling through the vendors section and stopped at the booth of a well-known database company. They told me they had an office in London and proceeded to try to talk me into working for them (with my boss standing right next to me!).

I told them that I lived in Cambridge, and they came back that I could work from home. I finally told them that I didn't move to a country where I knew 2 people (other than those at my new job) to work from home, where I would meet no one else.

Luckily, my boss found the whole exchange hilarious.

Many years ago I attended a Web developer conference in Austin, Texas. It was pretty wild, and the first time I'd ever seen neon blow-up furniture! (Very 90s)

For this year, it was the time we had a chocolate fountain at an SF ACE event. It was v. popular and made me smile

Ananjan_miniOrange

@Susan Waldrip Woahh this is great, I'd want to attend events like those!!

Ananjan_miniOrange

@Matt Doar _Adaptavist_that chocolate fountain looks delicious😁

My favorite event was Team 2022. It was my first in-person event after the pandemic, and I chose to drive to Las Vegas to avoid the airports. It felt amazing to reconnect with people and experience the energy that Atlassian conferences always bring. The whole experience was both fun and refreshing!

Ananjan_miniOrange

@Carlos Garcia Navarro that's superb! A road trip sounds really fun. Also, Atlassian events are just the best, with a mix of fun and learning!

My first event where Atlassian sponsored in 2018 and I met some truly fantastic people who are still in my life today
