The deadline to submit a proposal is February 7th, 2020


The Selection Process:
  • From January to early February, we will add approved speakers to our agenda. If you do not hear immediately from us, it means that your submission is still under consideration.
  • We will let you know if your submission is selected.
  • We will do our best to honor any preferences you specified in your application. However, we may suggest modifications to your original proposal.
  • If your proposal is accepted, you’ll need to sign a standard speaker release to give Twilio permission to record your talk and to use your name and likeness for SIGNAL promotion.

Perks of Speaking:
  • All speakers get a full-access ticket to SIGNAL, featuring keynotes, dynamic content sessions, and an invitation to our $bash celebration.
  • Please don't hesitate to reach out if your employer is unable to pay for your travel - we may be able to help you! We have limited travel funds available for approved speakers who wouldn't otherwise have an opportunity to speak, so don't let travel keep you from sharing your impactful story. If approved for travel coverage, we'll put you in touch with a travel agent to help arrange your flight and hotel accommodations.
