Why I’m excited about SIGNAL London

Why I’m excited about SIGNAL London

SIGNAL London is bringing the best of SIGNAL San Francisco to this side of the Atlantic. In just one day, on the 20th of September 2016, we are packing two tracks of talks with as much knowledge and experience that we can to help you change communications with the power of code.

If that’s enough to get you excited, then go grab yourself a ticket now and I’ll see you in September. Oh, and if you use the code BLOG50 you’ll get £50 off the price.

If you’re looking to be convinced, then let me share a few reasons why I’m excited for SIGNAL London.

We will learn amazing things

We’ve got speakers from both inside and outside of Twilio sharing their experiences. This is the best place outside of SIGNAL San Francisco to learn from both the people building Twilio as well as those using it day to day.

On the Twilio side of things I’m looking forward to:

• Carter Rabasa revealing all the debugging tools, tricks and tips that will keep your Twilio applications running smoothly
• Ameer Badri and Matthias Damm taking us through a fully functional Twilio powered contact centre that they built, including a bit of extra flair with a voice assistant
• Jarod Reyes throwing out the rulebook on documentation in order to create a better experience for all developers using Twilio

How about those developers who are building the future of communications every day? I’m excited to hear from:

• Lukas Oberhuber from Simply Business, who will be sharing techniques for integration testing voice applications
• Warren Colbert of Twitch who will be talking through security and gaming as he describes how Twitch implemented Authy for their users. The Authy team are pretty excited to be coming to SIGNAL London too.

On a side note, if you’re a fan of Twitch, check out Twilio’s Twitch channel where you can regularly find myself and other members of the developer evangelism team live streaming our coding sessions.

We’ve also got a real taste of the future from:

• Julia Farraioli from Google who will be using Google Cloud Vision to explore the world
• Katy Moe from Improbable who will be hacking on the NFC transponder implanted in her hand

And that’s not all, there are many more speakers to keep you informed and entertained over the whole day.

We will meet amazing people

Of course, conferences aren’t just about sitting and listening. There’s going to be a strong hallway track too.

There’ll be plenty of Twilions there to answer questions about your applications and find out what you’re building. And there will be many other developers to meet, share experiences with and learn from. I’m most looking forward to meeting as many of you there that I can!

We will be the first to know

This year at SIGNAL San Francisco, Twilio announced Programmable Wireless, Notify, Add-ons and a whole new developer experience throughout the Console, Documentation and Debugger. Who knows what we’ll hear about in London? All I know is, if you’re there at SIGNAL London, you’ll be the first to hear.

I’m excited to see you there

So don’t hang about! Ticket prices go up on the 20th August, so grab your ticket now and get a £50 discount using the promo code BLOG50. Check out the schedule and the rest of the speakers and I’ll see you in September!
