<About The Event/>

api city conference 2019

API City Conference is a non-profit community event that brings together a diverse set of developers and business people to network and learn about APIs and the business value it can bring to you and your company. With a focus on diversity and accessibility, our single track conference creates an open event where everyone is welcome.

Our 2019 event is being held at the Hilton Convention Center near the Seatac airport in Seattle, WA with expected attendees of up to 250 people. In addition to a great line-up of speakers, we will be providing live captioning, sponsored by Twilio, in the main room for people hard of hearing. We hope you can join us for our inaugural event this Fall!
