⭐ What's your favorite Summit/Team talk of all time?

[Cassie Mayes]

Hey there!

I've been thinking a lot about being in-person next year at Team 22' and it got me excited thinking about the presenters and all of the valuable information shared during that week.

If you're not familiar, Team (formerly known as Atlassian Summit) is the premier conference for modern teamwork for exploring the intersectionality of teamwork, humanity, tech, and share new ways to unleash your team’s full potential.

Our flagship event has certainly evolved alongside the new state of teamwork as we know it, but if you've been able to attend Team/Summit I want to hear about your talk of ALL time. It could be from 5+ years ago or this year!

Here are a few ideas to get started:

• Who gave the talk?
• What was it about?
• What was your biggest takeaway?
• What makes it your FAVORITE?

I can't wait to hear your favs. 💙

Thinking about trying to provide helpful content, I often think of a talk at Summit 16 that I messaged my team about. Just the one talk was worth taking the whole week for Summit (not to mention all the other talks that year too).

Denise Unterwurzacher at Atlassian presented how Atlassian managed performance tuning for Confluence. I think this was the first time I'd encountered content from another Confluence administrator that got as deep into the weeds as I had over the previous year with heap allocation and garbage collection.

The start of the talk was even reassuring: "I think you're in the right spot."

Seeing how Atlassian itself was working through some of the same problems my company instance was having at the time was reassuring. Knowing I'd taken many of the same actions that Atlassian themselves had taken proved to me that I was a better/more seasoned administrator than I imagined myself at the time. And the title was just perfect: Trash Talk! 

The information about memory tuning was so valuable that I've linked to that talk many times while answering questions on Community.
