Introducing /bots: The day bots ate SIGNAL

Introducing /bots: The day bots ate SIGNAL

SIGNAL is Twilio’s developer conference for communications and a conversation about communications in 2016 would be incomplete if it didn’t include bots. We’re hosting /bots at SIGNAL, a “sub-conference” where everyone at the forefront of the bots movement will come together to talk about the future of messaging. We’d love to have you there May 24th and 25th at SIGNAL.

/bots will feature speakers from development teams at Slack, IBM Watson, Facebook M, Microsoft’s Bot Framework and more. We’ll answer the tough questions like – “are you engineering R2-D2 or Skynet when you build a Slackbot with Twilio?” “How many weird questions can IBM Watson actually answer?” and “Okay, what’s the best way to build an intelligent bot and deploy it across a bunch of different platforms?”

We’ll let Jeff give his two cents on those questions.

Building Good Slack Bots and Custom Integrations
Allison Craig, from Slack

Getting Started with the Microsoft Bot Framework
Lili Cheng and Dan Driscoll from Microsoft Research

Building Cognitive Apps with IBM Watson
James Thomas from IBM Bluemix

Over the next two weeks we’ll announce more speakers coming to /bots. Grab your tickets right here, and stay tuned to the blog for more announcements. We’ll see you (and your bots) at SIGNAL!
