SIGNAL London Recap: History Belongs to the Builders

SIGNAL London Recap: History Belongs to the Builders

We’re wrapping up our first SIGNAL Conference in London and we’re well chuffed.

Today, developers from around the world gathered to hone their craft and get a look at a few of the new tools we’ve been cooking up at Twilio. Whether you joined us in London, or you followed along from a distance, thank you.

Before we turn off the lights at The Brewery, let’s run through some of the knowledge dropped and announcements made over the past 12 hours at SIGNAL London.

There were launches, live coded games of Flappybird, cyborgs hacking their hands, and ML scripts that classify objects as huggable or not huggable. Let’s get down to it:

Tomorrow many folks from the community will be headed home. Some of you will get on planes. Some of you will get on trains. Some of you may get in driverless automobiles. But you’ll all be headed off to do the same thing — build the future. We can’t wait to see what you build.
