The seventh annual customer and developer conference will focus on building meaningful customer relationships in the digital economy
Twilio, the leading cloud communications platform, announced a lineup of special guests for SIGNAL, its annual customer and developer conference, including Former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama and Simu Liu, star of the new movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. In its seventh year, SIGNAL will take place virtually on October 20-21, 2021.
Customer preference for communicating with businesses has drastically shifted to digital. Businesses need to deliver digital experiences that drive not only customer satisfaction but customer loyalty — and creating these kinds of experiences starts with great data. This year, SIGNAL will explore how businesses can use data to elevate every digital interaction into a personalized, engaging customer experience.
Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson will be joined by special guest Michelle Obama for “A Moderated Conversation with Michelle Obama.” As a transformative First Lady, Mrs. Obama launched and led four key initiatives: Let’s Move!, to address the challenge of childhood obesity; Joining Forces, to support veterans, service members and their families; Reach Higher, to inspire young people to seek higher education; and Let Girls Learn, to help adolescent girls around the world go to school. Mrs. Obama’s work on girls’ education continues through the Girls Opportunity Alliance at the Obama Foundation.
