Speaker Bench Challenge re-cap

[#1]

Hey, Speakers 👋

In October, we launched the Speaker Bench Challenge that last until the end of December 2021. The goal of this challenge was to get Speaker Bench community members signed up to speak at Atlassian Community Events. Anyone who was a member of the Speaker Bench group and confirmed to speak at an ACE was sent a Speaker Kit (this includes a ring light and microphone).

We saw a ton of success from this challenge and want to share some fun stats with you:

• 41 people spoke at an ACE and earned a Speaker Kit 🎤

• 161 people joined the group after the challenge launched 🎉

• The announcement post was viewed 2,327 times 👀

• and received 90 likes 👍

• We currently have a total of 362 members 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Here are a few pics of the Speaker Kit in the wild!

We have some more exciting speaking opportunities planned so be on the lookout for the next challenge! There’s still a chance to win an amazing Speaker Kit.
