Hello there! Here at Typeform’s newborn Platform team there has been lots of action related to the launch of our Developer Platform (🎉) and, now that we have settled down a bit and our own internal community of engineers is starting to bloom, it’s time to focus on contributing to the developer world beyond our doors.

Thus… we are going on tour! We want to meet as many engineers as possible and with as much varied interests in APIs and Open Source projects as they can dream of. We want to explain how we work, which were our greatest screwups, what challenges are we facing, and the best solutions we discovered, so we can give back a bit of all the wise advice we have taken from great minds everywhere.

So, where can you find us in the next months?

In Europe

  • CraftConf, May 9–11(Budapest): Andrea & Eva will be hanging around.
  • WeAreDevelopers, May 16–18 (Vienna): we will be speaking at a panel and hosting a workshop on APIs (delivered by Jason & our honorary team member Jeremias, a developer from our Engineering team).

In USA

And where have we already been to?

In Europe

  • API the Docs, April 24 (Paris): Eva talked about what took us to launch the Developer Platform and Portal and the impact on Typeform’s business and organization. Slides and video available here.
  • Restart Network masterclass, April 18 (Rotterdam): delivered by Nico.
  • Cloudflare+Typeform twin meetups, March 27 (London) and April 3 (Barcelona): Speakers from Typeform: Marta Bondyra (“From hackathon to a working product: building Typeform’s Cloudflare app”), David Sancho (“Typeform’s embed story: Good things come in small packages”), and Jason (“Typeform’s Platform Strategy: from API to Beautiful HX”).

In USA

This is our current plan for next weeks, and there are more events to come for the second half of the year. If you’d like to meet us in any of these events, or want us to speak or help out at an event you are organizing, please let us know!

All the best from Platform team, from Typeform’s HQ, SF office, and assorted airplanes :)

Andrea, Eva, Jason, Luke, and Nico
