6-8pm
Atlassian office, 173-185 Sussex Street (Thanks Mike and Scott!)
Bring pen, paper, questions and a bottle of water.
If you want, please bring some snacks and/or drinks to share. There will be no cutlery, plates or napkins, so finger food is best. And make sure we clean up. Last time Atlassian sponsored some drinks (ding!).
Prize Time
The great guys from Good Barry have put up a prize of a six months subscription to their website, email and customer management tool, as a Growth Town prize. To decide who wins we're trying a new idea - Elevator FAIL. Anyone who is wants to win stands up and has 30 seconds to tell a story of how you tried, failed and learned a good lesson. Winner is by crowd clapping and laughter. Get practicing.
