Headline: St. Louis AUG in Aug Hits 5th Year Milestone

Held as in the past at Urban Chestnut Grove, this is usually a well-attended affair, often with special guests. Unlike our regular formal presentations with some networking before and after, this entire event is about networking. We are working on some possible content to include as well, but whether you choose to participate in that or not (it's not required), this is a time to:

• connect with other members of similar interests and discuss challenges and successes
  
• connect with Atlassian partners and hear about what they can offer your organization (we will post a list of attending partners as we get news of who is attending).
  
• connect with me (please!) to bend my ear on what you want to get out of the AUG going forward.
  

Again, no presentations so you are free to choose to speak to whom you want about topics you wish to hear about. If you have a question about a particular item or want to be introduced to members from orgs using a particular Atlassian tool or have a particular challenge you are trying to solve, seek me out so I can connect you.

As always, we offer free beverages (Urban Chestnut offers beer, wine, soda and water) and food (in addition to their German bar food offerings, we will be taking advantage of their sister location's pizza offerings as well, to be sure you don't leave hungry). We will also have new Atlassian swag and perhaps more (again, stay tuned).
