StiltSoft Virtual Booth

Atlassian Summit was always an excellent opportunity for all Atlassian vendors to meet our customers and tell Atlassian users more about our products. This year, we did our best to stay connected. So we opened a virtual booth where everyone could book a demo to learn more about our apps.

We knew that Atlassian users were missing swag from us. For that reason, all attendees of the booth got a chance to win the $200 Amazon gift card.

Check out our page on the Atlassian Marketplace to see the apps we develop to boost Atlassian products!
