Looking to connect with our customers on a local level? Interested in finding out what pain points, best practices, or insights they may have regarding Atlassian tools? Head over to ace.atlassian.com to join your local Atlassian Community Event (ACE) group. It's a great opportunity to network and discuss emerging product issues/best practices.
We want to maintain a positive experience for all who take part in these special communities, including our Solution Partners and Marketplace vendors.
In order to do that, we collaborated with multiple Partners, Community Leaders, and Atlassian teams to help create the following guidelines to drive an engaging and welcoming experience for all ACE attendees.
Community Event Guidelines
Leaders must be users. Solution Partners are now able to join our program. Partner applicants who have held well-received events (based on member feedback surveys) and are in good standing with internal Atlassian teams will be eligible to join our Leader program. In addition, Community Leaders who are employed by an Atlassian Solution Partner can continue to engage in any and all Leader activities, including hosting Atlassian Community Events. Partners will also be credited for continuity and event contribution perks for the initial events they hosted.
Vendor participation: Vendors can sponsor food and drink prizes, or even host events. However, sponsorship does not automatically mean they must be granted a speaking slot. You agree to work with vendors to determine the content that will be relevant and valuable to your group.
No sales pitches. We ask Partners to represent their expertise through product content and practices at each event. Sales pitches are not permitted. Check out this link to understand what's accepted for both presentation and marketing practices at events.
If attending an event, Community etiquette is required. Partners add value to the events by sharing their expertise and knowledge around product usage and practices. We encourage all Partners to implement our Atlassian values within events to create an educational and welcoming environment for all attendees.
