Atlassian in Africa will cover both technical and management fields. The agenda will include presentations from speakers David Hislop, Atlassian expert at Korwe Software and Matt Coughlan, South African Experts Manager.

There will also be a presentation from Lisa Schaffer, representing the Atlassian User Group in Cape Town, covering Atlassian in the South Africa context.
