Treat yourself to tech and Thanh Vi at this quarter’s terminal tech talk. Terra tackles trending troubles in targeting demand, inventory tracking, and transportation forecasting.
Over the past couple of months, we’ve hosted a series of events for developers in the Twitter ecosystem. All of those events have been here at Twitter HQ, and consequently those outside of San Francisco have a tough time attending. We’ve received feedback that you’d like to see some of the technical workshops that we’ve been hosting happen in other cities – so we’re making that happen.
There’s a lot going on in the ecosystem and we’d like to take this chance to share the highlights with you – including the latest developments with the platform, areas of demand within the ecosystem that we’re seeing, and technical dives into integration opportunities for developers. We’ll also be holding a Q&A session with members of the platform team, plus time to hang out with each other.
Details:
November 9th from 6pm to ~9pm
We’ll be hosting this at Hotel 1000 which is located at:
1000 First Avenue, Seattle, WA
