🎯 My app is on the App Directory. What's next?

For many developers, building an app can seem like the easy part. But launching one? That’s another story. A little creative foresight can go a long way toward a successful app launch. And you don’t need a marketing team—or a deep marketing budget—to do it.
Join the session to learn:

• Best practices from partners who successfully launched and marketed their Slack apps

• How to plan for key launch milestones

• Create well-crafted messaging to show the value of your app

• Ways to amplify your app across marketing channels

💻 BONUS! Slack + Atlassian webinar post Frontiers: Tighten Product & Engineering collaboration with Atlassian + Slack for faster launches

Time: Tuesday, November 9th at 11am PT/ 2pm ET

Description: Agile sprints are simple in theory, but shipping code into production after two weeks requires tight alignment and rapid feedback cycles across Product Management, Engineering, and business teams. Atlassian is purpose-built to plan, track, and execute on agile development and sprints, while Slack centralizes teams, tools, and conversations to bring total visibility and transparency into a single collaboration space. Integrating Atlassian tools like Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket into a single pane of glass in Slack reduces context switching and ensures everyone stays aligned during short sprints to launch products faster and more successfully.
