It's Thursday!

Hey all! In the light of this being Atlassian Team22 week, this week's TBT question is: What was the first ever Atlassian Summit/Team Conference you ever attended?

For me, the answer is:

And this can be either in person or online. What about you?

Let’s make it a great Thursday!

Hello @Kristján Geir Mathiesen

Nice question because I love the word Summit, and  I started to work at e-Core in 2016, but my first Summit Remote was in 2018. 

And I thought so uniquely the opening and the countdown with music loud; I love this enthusiastic part, LOL.

Have a lovely day, Buddy! 🤗😃🤩👏🏽🚀💪🏼

First virtual: last year

Hello @Kristján Geir Mathiesen !

I started working on Atlassian products in 2015, joined the Community Leader program in 2018, but I got a chance to attend my first Atlassian Team event in 2021 in virtual mode.

Team '22 is my second Atlassian Team event, still in virtual mode :-(

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen Are you attending Team '22 in-person?

Have a great Thursday, everyone!

My first was 2020! What a time to start! I've never been to an in person one. I was going to go in 2019, but my company did not want to pay for it (stupid airlines) and then last year we were stuck virtual! I'm definitely going in person next year!

First in-person one: 2016. I'd viewed sessions virtually in prior years. Things were a lot smaller back then - sometimes you'll see photos of how the event has grown over the years. I think I saw a photo with Bob Swift at the first or second one with just a handful of attendees - everybody at the event fit in the same photo. Really amazing to see the evolution!

@Taranjeet Singh yes, I am at this Team'22. This is my second in person Atlassian conference. Hope you are well!

[Taranjeet Singh]

Yes, I am doing good! Thanks for asking, @Kristján Geir Mathiesen .

I hope you are having a wonderful in-person Team '22 experience!

Our first Summit  Team was in 2020. We were supposed to go in person but things didn't work out as expected. Since then I'm joining online :))

My first in person was 2019.  I didn't really know about the online community at the time and as this is a throw back I thought I'd dig up an old post just for a little fun...

Have a great weekend everyone!

@Jimmy Seddon looking now at your initial post it's amazing that you had a group of all-star community leaders and members as the ones that replied to it at the time!
