Attendees will get a feel for how to build Twilio into their existing applications (or build new ones on top of our API), how the company works, how we partner with our customers, and hear from existing customers as part of a panel discussion.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>I know Twilio is very active in terms of developer evangelism globally and, particularly, in Europe. \u00a0What are some of the things you offer development community?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div>We love developers. They are our life blood, and we do all we can to help and empower them to do amazing things. We support events and hackathons, have evangelists that can offer support and guidance, and even invest in smaller startups that are building on our platform by way of our TwilioFund initiative.<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4><strong>What about France? \u00a0What types of things (local events, etc) would you like to do here in the future?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div>This is our first time in France &#8211; and we&#8217;re dedicating more time to this trip than we have for other European trips we&#8217;ve done so far. We see awesome things come from French developer, and we&#8217;re keen to start supporting the local community in any way we can as we expand across Europe. Got ideas? Let us know!Given the great response to both the apero and workshop, with both basically sold out last week, some additional spots have been opened up for both events. \u00a0So if you want to attend, sign-up quickly for the Apero\u00a0and\/or Workshop below .<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Event details<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twilionetworkingapero.eventbrite.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1)\u00a0Rude Baguette and Twilio Apero<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Timing: \u00a0June 11, 2013 \u00a018h &#8211; 21h<\/div>\n<div>Location: \u00a050 Partners, 62 rue Jean Jacques Rousseau \u00a075001<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twilioparisworkshop.eventbrite.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2)\u00a0Intro to Twilio: \u00a0A Paris Workshop<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Timing: \u00a0June 12, 2013 \u00a09h30 &#8211; 16h<\/div>\n<div>Location: \u00a0120 Rue Lafayette \u00a075010<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we announced last month, Twilio, many startups&#8217; go to cloud communications partner, will be making it&#8217;s big debut on the Paris tech scene next week with two great events &#8211; \u00a0the\u00a0Rude Baguette &amp; Twilio Apero on the 11th and the Intro to Twilio Workshop on the 12th.
