Happy New Year to you all!
Hope you enjoyed the break and are looking forward to another year of Atlassian AUG events. If you haven't attended one before, this should be the year! We're an open, friendly group, hoping to share ideas and knowledge with the Atlassian community in London.
We're in need of a venue for our January meet-up. If anyone could host us on the last Tuesday/Wednesday of the month, please get in touch at sinead.oneill@atlassianusergroup.com.
Thanks,
Sinéad
Latest: As you can see from Tom's message we've found a venue, but if you or a colleague would like to speak at the event, please get in touch!
Hi
For future reference, I've just started work at Cheil.uk. They are a marketing org and have a great presentation space called the Hangar. I've spoken to the IT Director and he is keen in principal to host an AUG.
I think he would like to mingle and chat himself :-) Cheil are interested in security and AWS scaling. I may have a lead for a speaker on next gen biometric security from an outfit called Callsign.
Could you give me a heads up on general format and numbers to pass back.
Else I'll see you on 29th fro my first AUG attendance !
Hi @Tom Lister,
Thanks for letting us know about your interest in hosting an AUG at Cheil, we're always looking for new and interesting venues and that sounds like it would be a great fit for us :)
For speakers we're looking for people to talk about their work and/or experiences with and around the Atlassian tools, so hopefully your speakers would be able to link their topic with an Atlassian theme.
The formats for AUGs are typically evening events from 6:30pm - 9:30pm and we usually have around 60 attendees, but sometimes up to 90 if we give people enough warning! We are able to provide food and refreshments for the event (usually pizza 🍕). For the event space we would need a room that has a screen, projector and PA system.
I hope that covers everything you need, but please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!
Tom
