Hello Chicago!

It's about time for Atlassian Summit.  We have a special pre-Summit treat lined up for you. Before anyone else see's it, we'll have a few firsts:

• Our first ever Trello talk,
• Our first ever Trello Atlassian Team member on site and
• Our first ever Summit speaker trying their speech at our venue.

Ever wondered what it takes to be a successful remote worker?

• Join Stella Garber from Trello and learn the tips and tricks for time and work management that make remote work an absolute joy. Hear personal and life tips from Trello's team of 70% remote workers, and learn how they tackled the challenges and succeeded in making remote work work.

Let's talk about Dashboards for DevOps.

• Join Dhaivat Upadhyay from Column IT as he discusses the sheer velocity of DevOps and how it is driving the need for an automated approach to software delivery.  Companies add more technologies every day to ensure that software releases happen rapidly and consistently. Monitoring and measuring the SDLC platform, delivery pipeline, and the applications you build has become the next automation hurdle.
• Dhaivat will present a “single pane of glass” solution approach provides real-time visibility and critical insights into key aspects of software delivery by leveraging today’s leading DevOps technologies. It’s all about enabling you to deliver your software Better, Faster, Stronger.

All this is happening literally 5 days before Summit. Whether you're going or not, this is the place to get excited about Summit and to pregame your Summit questions with our guests.

We'll whip all this up at our evening spot, Relativity. Expect some good eats and drinks.

Please note, expect a few minutes delay when you get to the building to check in with Building Security. You will need an ID and you will need to be on our guest list, so please have your +1, +2 and three's register.

See you soon,

Peter and Greg.
