Time to kick off πŸ»πŸ‚ Apptoberfest '24πŸ»πŸ‚ Join us next week!

It’s time to celebrate because Apptoberfest is back and better than ever!

Hello! You may have already heard the news in App Central, but we wanted to make sure everyone in the Community got the memo! We are donating $5 for every attendee who joins the final Appy Hour event (read on to learn more), so let's make this Apptoberfest great and do some good!

This year, we're turning up the fun with exciting new additions that you won't want to miss. We're talking shiny new Community badges, awesome Atlassian swag, prizes, and an inspiring Atlassian Foundation campaign that lets us give back to both our digital and real-life Communities. Buckle up for a month packed with excitement and connection!

Here's what you can expect to see at Atlassian’s Apptoberfest and how you can participate: 

 

 

πŸ’¬ Weekly Community Discussions

Where customers like you can submit experiences and read stories about apps for key products such as Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and Bitbucket. The discussions will kick off with a weekly prompt focused on the following topics:

  • October 1 - Apps for Marketing teams

  • October 8 - Apps for Business teams

  • October 15 - Apps for All teams

On each of the above dates, a discussion will kick off and you will have until to October 25 contribute to all of the conversations. Note, that there are badges and prizes up for grabs for the participants. Keep reading! 

 

 

πŸ† App demo competition

 Vote for your favorite demo in each of the three categories! Each Community member participating will receive 1 vote per app category (marketing teams, business teams, all teams) for a total of 3 votes. Demos will be posted by our wildly creative Marketplace Partners from October 1st to October 18th. Voting will open on October 18th and close at the end of the day on October 25, 2024. We will have a winner in each category, and they will be announced the following week AND be entered into the finale Appy Hour Party.

 

 

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ App Crawl in Barcelona

Customers attending Team β€˜24 in Barcelona will have an opportunity to visit the Marketplace Booth to give a (video and audio) recorded pitch on their favorite Marketplace app. The first 10 customers to provide a video testimonial will receive a small gift of appreciation on-site.

In addition, for Apptoberfest participants attending TEAM in Barcelona, we’ll be handing out limited-edition vinyl stickers.

Love the new badge designs and the re-vamped approach to the App grouping. Looking forward to the creativity of the Marketplace vendors in advertising their apps this year.

Thanks for this, it's a cool idea and I like the designs of the badges.  Luckily for me I deal with both Marketing and Business teams so the first 2 weeks will be useful.

For the first time this year, I won't be joining the challenge as a demo video creator, but I can't wait to see what others have in store for Apptoberfest. Marketplace folks are getting more and more creative πŸ˜
