What happened
Atlassian is launching DevDay: The Meetup, a virtual developer event kicking off with a free 90-minute webinar on June 28, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. CEST. The event introduces a new format to their annual developer meetups, streamlining key sessions into a concise presentation alongside extended workshops throughout the week.
The workshops, scheduled from June 26 to June 30, provide hands-on technical training ranging from exploring the next generation of the Forge runtime and working with large datasets to securing applications on Atlassian’s platforms. Developers also receive direct access to Atlassian engineers and advocates, enhancing their coding skills and platform knowledge.
Why it matters
By condensing the annual event into a more accessible, time-efficient format and supplementing it with practical workshops, Atlassian aims to accommodate developers’ busy schedules while still delivering in-depth technical education. This approach fosters growth and innovation within their developer ecosystem.
The inclusion of a dedicated Slack workspace encourages real-time interaction, questions, and networking, which is critical for building community and exchanging insights. The focus on Forge, Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Jira Service Management also highlights Atlassian’s commitment to empowering developers across its core product offerings.
What to watch next
Keep an eye on registrations and participation trends for the June workshops and webinar to gauge developer engagement with Atlassian’s new event format. Feedback and adoption of the next generation Forge runtime preview will be a key area to watch, as it may influence future platform enhancements.
Further announcements may follow with additional post-event resources or follow-up sessions, enabling developers to deepen their proficiency. Monitoring how the network and community interactions evolve in the Slack workspace will also provide insights into developer needs and collaboration opportunities.
