Appy Hours on Atlassian Community

[#1]

Calling all Apps! 

After seeing the creative energy of Apptoberfest, the Atlassian Community and Ecosystem teams want to create more opportunities for Marketplace Partners and customers to connect. So, starting in late June 2022, we’re launching a new experimental initiative: Monthly Appy Hours!

About Appy Hours:

Atlassian Appy Hours are a monthly Community event for Marketplace Partners and customers to connect. Each Appy Hour will feature 4 Marketplace partners going head to head for the title of best app demo that month. Partners will each be given 5 minutes to present their demo. After everyone has presented, customer attendees will be given a poll to vote for the demo or app that they liked best! At the very end, customers can ask partners questions about the apps they saw, and get more information about how to install.

Campaign Dates:

Current plan is to hold these events monthly starting June 2022

Sign up to Demo:

To participate, a partner or app vendor must demo an app that meets the following criteria:

• Paid via Atlassian or free apps that do not require a paid subscription

• App must be supported

• App listing indicates established track record of success with customers (good reviews, regular updates, etc)

Cadence: Monthly on the last Thursday of the month

Appy Hours Badge: In addition to amplifying the reach of your app, all Partner presenters will receive our limited edition Appy Hours badge!

How to sign up: Sign up via this form. Atlassian will reach out to let you know if and when you have been selected to present.

@Bridget not an app developer, but certainly interested in being one of the customer attendees in the live viewing audience. How do we sign up for that?

[Bridget]

@Andy Gladstone yes these are going to be so much fun! We will promo the events once we source presenters :). Keep your eyes peeled! (I will also be sure to let you know in Leader Slack). 

[Heloisa Tiscoski]

Great initiative! 

[Teodora _Old Street Solutions_]

I'm so looking forward to Old Street joining this challenge! We have a killer presenter 🤩

@Bridget, do we submit the form once, or it's a recurring monthly submission?

[Bridget]

@Teodora _Old Street Solutions_ - amazing! Can't wait to hear from Old Street :). Once is perfect - you'll hear from the team soon about an upcoming month/opportunity to present. 

[Robin Warren]

Is this open to Trello power-ups? We don't have the ability to collect payment via Atlassian at the moment but it would be a shame to exclude a lot of great paid power-ups just for that.

[Thorsten Letschert _Decadis AG_]

Great first event today!

Are we supposed to submit one form for each app, or can we include multiple apps in one form?

[Andy Gladstone]

24 hours later and reflecting on how enjoyable yesterday's initial installation of this series was. I've already checked out a few new apps on the Marketplace. And congrats to @Nikki Zavadska _jexo_ and Jexo on winning the first Appy Hours Award!

[Sharon Tan]

@Robin Warren We are definitely welcoming Trello power-ups, and we agree, it'd be awesome to have some variety! 🤠

[Sharon Tan]

@Thorsten Letschert _Decadis AG_ Please submit one per form so that we can best group and schedule your apps with other apps that make sense, since these events are themed/by category! Thanks for asking! ⭐

[Karina S_ _Elements_]

Hi @Bridget! We'd love to participate and filled out the form quite some time ago, but didn't have any response.. is there something else that needs to be done to participate? 

[daryl.karan]

All taken care for!

@Bridget 

great initiative looking forward to participate count me in.

[Katarina Harbuzava _ Planyway]

Thanks for this opportunity! I am also enthusiastic about participation with our team planner.

[vikram]

@Bridget Thanks for the program.

Good opportunity for us to see the Demo and evaluate for our organization as we are utilizing few Apps for DC & Cloud SaaS Atlassian Products. 

Its good to know new Apps also.

Good to see new apps but often they should be part of Jira/Confluence not to support a function that atlassian have messed up on the system
