SIGNAL Speaker Highlight: Fun Facts

SIGNAL Speaker Highlight: Fun Facts

This is not a drill. There’s less than a month before we are together again at Pier 27 in San Francisco for SIGNAL.

While the team is busy making sure you get your hands dirty with all kinds of Twilio products during Superclass and creating a futuristic experience for this year’s $bash, I’ve been daydreaming about meeting my heroes of the developer community – the speakers.

Aside from the seriously cool things they will share with you in the breakout sessions on May 24-25, these folks are, not surprisingly, awesome humans.

Fun Facts about SIGNAL Speakers

SIGNAL Session: “What If Twilio Could…” A Tale of Glitch, Twilio, and the Power of Friendship

Fun Fact: Pek, self-proclaimed Hack of All Trades, also happens to be Raiden: God of Thunder. He’s done the martial arts motion capture of the character for a series of Mortal Kombat games.

In addition to the technical content, we hope these fun facts will be great conversation starters for you and the speakers later this month. We can’t wait to see you at SIGNAL! Grab a ticket while you can.
