Team lead Atlassian Day, Oct 20th, 2017, was like no other. Are you off to Teamlead’s future event in Moscow? Learn how to prepare for the event hosted by the most recognized Jira reseller in Russia.
Arbatskaya Moscow metro station sign. The Team lead Atlassian Day 10 2017 was actually held near Kurskaya station, in SREDA Loft, next to Arma Zavod. As this is not Teamlead’s headquarters (they are based in St. Petersburg), the future Atlassian Days 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 onwards may be located somewhere else.
You’d be better off with a Russian-speaking team member at the Teamlead Atlassian Day. Pictured here is Ruslan (Руслан), our presenter, who introduced SAFe and how our BigPicture JIRA addon may help.
Must-haves & knows
- You absolutely positively need a Russian-speaking team member for the Team lead Atlassian Day. Guests from Russia outnumber the rest and the majority of presentations were delivered in Russian. So, not just to be able to deliver your presentation, but also to understand what’s going on, you need to have a translator. We did.
- Many presentations at the Teamlead Atlassian Day were delivered from remote locations (through GoToMeeting on-line service); presumably from Western Europe and the U.S. and some of those were in English. We too will leave this option open for us for next year.
- The event is not targeted at Atlassian Vendors. Instead it’s more like the convention of Atlassian User Groups
- Bring roll-ups, stickers and leaflets and you’ll shine out. This was our case
We take the opportunity to advertise our BigPicture, BigGantt and other JIRA apps through this article ;)
How special is the Russian market?
For Jira and Atlassian Marketplace vendors, Russia is certainly an emerging market. The private sector is becoming more efficiency-driven, as is the case in the USA or Europe. The young generation is taking over senior managerial positions in Russia’s private sector. On-line solutions are being discovered.
Who uses Atlassian products in Russia?
First and foremost: IT industry.
Secondly: Russian banking sector. Raiffeisen Bank, Sberbank, Home Credit Bank, Otkrytiye, Uralsib
E-commerce, e-stores: Ozon.ru, 220 Volt, Azbuka Vkusa
Mobile phone operators: Beeline, Megafon, Yota
Retailers: X5 Retail, Metro, 585 (jewellery)

Is Team Lead Atlassian Day FREE?
In 2017, the 10th edition of Teamlead Atlassian Day was free for all to attend. We had registered beforehand, though.
POS materials – how much you need?
We – an Atlassian Vendor – had just 25 booklets with us on the Day and we brought back home seven of them.
We conducted business talks with four potential clients.
The food
Four breaks were scheduled to try the delicious food on offer. The event was concluded with a brief beer party.

The rather cosy atmosphere of the 2017 Teamlead Atlassian Day attended by approximately 125 people. Had the event been held in Europe or the U.S., would there have been more guests?
We went window-shopping for matryoshkas.
Location of Teamlead Atlassian Day 2017: SREDA loft in the Arma-Zavod complex near Kurskaya Metro station. Industrial, start-up atmosphere. Thumbs up!
We must admit that the interior design of Team Lead Atlassian Day 2017 deserved recognition.
Don’t miss the Moscow metro! One of the world’s deepest metro systems is a sight in itself, especially the central stations such as the vintage Arbatskaya station (pictured).
