Together, as a team of Atlassian Community Champions (formerly known as Leaders) — in our roles as Product Manager and Atlassian Admin we’ve shared not only our expertise and the latest from the Atlassian ecosystem, but also the hands-on knowledge teams of any size need to thrive.
We’ve welcomed speakers and guests from across the globe here in Cologne and, even during the pandemic, turned the impossible into possible:
📈 Hosting 43 events in 2021 alone, setting the platinum benchmark for the most events in a single year (yes, almost one every week).
Since 2015, we’ve hosted 131 events. Teaming up with Customers, Atlassians, Partners and Community Champions from Australia, the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Brazil, and Africa.
Together as a team we’ve shared challenges, sparked new ideas, explored new products like Rovo, Forge, Atlas, Jira Product Discovery, Jira Service Management. And connected diverse teams globally. Always ensuring solutions work for Europe, stay compliant in Germany, and keep the Atlassian Community way at heart.
Who should join?
Atlassian customers in the Cologne region. Whether you’re a beginner, builder, or veteran this night is about celebrating, learning, and connecting with peers. And because we’re an inclusive community, our friends from Düsseldorf and beyond are warmly invited too. 
Can’t make it in person? No worries! Our Cologne chapter also hosts virtual and hybrid sessions throughout the year. Check out our 70+ talks on YouTube Atlassian Community Cologne to see what you’ve missed.
Back to in-person events — more regularly
Many know as Community Champions: We’ve committed to hosting one event every 90 days, organized entirely in our spare time. In-person gatherings take about three to four months to plan. Aligning dates, speakers, and venues.
We’re always looking for paid sponsorship support. So we can book our budget friendly venue options you know and love. If you’d like to help, just drop us a message at the email below.
You’ve told us you can’t wait to return to in-person events alongside online sessions. The mix makes things more fun and sparks the best discussions and connections.
