JiraCon23 Wrap-up

JiraCon23 is a wrap! This year’s conference was one for the books. Let’s look at the numbers, the winners, and give all the kudos due to everyone who made this happen!

This year’s session list continued a tradition of delivering compelling topics for the Atlassian user community. Moreso, we have so many sessions going on every single hour, it’s often hard for attendees to choose between sessions. A shout out to some of our most popular sessions.

Watch for these on our YouTube channel after December 3rd, 2023.

  • Jira Service Management Fundamentals, Katarzyna Pawlak & Krzysztof Skoropada
  • SAFe® in Jira: Scaling Agility with Agile Hive, Jamale Harris
  • Agile in Service Management, Phill Fox
  • Next Level Jira Automation in your Browser
  • Jira & Confluence: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Together, Charlotte Aleksandrowicz
  • Test Smarter (Not Harder) with Model-Based Test Design, Conor Wolford

This year, we wanted to incentivize participants to join sessions, to engage with speakers, and to connect with sponsors. We attributed points values to various activities during the conference and encouraged attendees to complete them. To help them along, we ran a raffle for the top 100-point scorers for some cool tech.

 

Congratulations on the following raffle winners:

  • Apple Watch: Cynthia Wood, Tyler Technologies
  • Oura Ring: Sid Pathirana, Atom Bank
  • Xbox Series X: Ryan Sanders, YearUp

One of the fun parts of planning for JiraCon is what we do for our opening session. Like last year, we chose to have Mark Cruth bring the voice of Atlassian. He took his “Modern Work Coach” role literally with a Ted Lasso Infomercial. Anyone who works with Mark knows he comes prepared, positive, and poised. Thank you Mark! You can check out his video in Mark’s LinkedIn post or watch it on our YouTube channel after November 3rd.

Ticketholders: Don’t forget the recordings! JiraCon23 is not limited to Oct 4th. There’s 31 hours of recorded content that ticketholders have exclusive access to until December 3rd. It’s easy. Just use your event login at jiracon.trundl.com and access all the sessions.
