The TrailBlazers Academy.

At TrailBlazers, we believe that the greatest innovations happen when curious minds come together to share knowledge, experiences, and ideas. That’s why we host meetups, hackathons, and other inspiring events, and share our expertise through insightful articles. Together, we’re building a vibrant community that challenges, inspires, and empowers each other to stay at the forefront of innovation.

Why we like to share knowledge.

Knowledge truly grows when it’s shared. That’s why our Academy is the place where we bring together our expertise, experiences, and inspiration. Through articles, meetups, hackathons, and other events, we create opportunities for professionals to connect, gain fresh insights, and experiment together with the technologies and challenges of today and tomorrow.

At TrailBlazers, we believe innovation doesn’t happen behind closed doors. It thrives through collaboration, curiosity, and the exchange of ideas. That’s why we’re committed to building a community where people learn from one another, challenge each other, and help each other grow. Whether you’re looking to expand your knowledge, share your own experiences, or simply find inspiration, you’re warmly invited to join us in discovering new ideas, insights, and opportunities together.

Work experiments - A test-driven approach to modern teamwork
Work changes fast. Last week we were all about Agile and today AI is changing how we get things done. It’s important to keep refining our practices to boost team collaboration and effectiveness. Rather than rolling out another big transformation, Atlassian has decided to take a test- driven approach to experimenting with new ways of working, letting teams try things out in a safe space.
With guest speaker Sven Peters, AI evangelist at Atlassian.

At this meetup, you will be offered an opportunity to experience how some of the methods and tools of the Genuine Contact approach can add value to your professional and personal life, by explicitly working on the ‘essence’ that drives you: your deeper perspectives, beliefs, and principles; and the conduct and attitudes that they require.
