Program: 9AM - 6PM

9:00 am - 9:30 am

Complete registration, grab a coffee, and sync with fellow builders before we kick off the day.

9:30 am - 10:00 am

Join Twilio executives as we pull back the curtain on our latest platform vision and product launches. Moving beyond the traditional roadmap, this session delivers live engineering demos, the design principles behind "wondrous" UX, and a look at the mission-critical tools powering the world's most ambitious workflows.

10:00 am - 10:45 am

The Builder Keynote will go deeper into the Twilio platform, taking you behind the scenes of what you at the Visionary Keynote. You'll hear about how we're improving and expanding the Twilio fundamentals, and we'll get into the "how" of building on the Twilio platform. Be prepared for fun, some surprises, and maybe a few "undocumented features" - and no one will get lost in the cloud... we hope.

11:00 am - 11:45 am

With an infectious energy and a gift for making the complex feel simple, Dawid doesn't just talk about AI - he brings it to life. In this transformative session, you'll discover how AI is reshaping industries and redefining what’s possible for individuals and organisations alike. Packed with compelling stories, real-world case studies, and powerful live demos, Dawid delivers a hands-on journey through the art of what’s possible with AI - right now. This keynote will not only inspire you; it will empower you to take action and lead in the age of intelligent transformation.

11:45 am - 1:00 pm
1:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Twilio Agent Connect (TAC) is a new Python and TypeScript SDK for building multichannel AI agents that connect LLM applications to Twilio Conversation Orchestrator and Conversation Memory. In this talk, we'll look at how build an AI agent from scratch with custom tools, memory retrieval, and human handoff. Whether you have already built voice and messaging AI agents on Twilio, or are just getting started, this session will show you how you can take your AI agents from idea to production.

1:00 pm - 1:40 pm

Most re-activation strategies stop at the reminder email. Xero is building AI agents that pick up where the email leaves off, catching customers the moment they get stuck and continuing the conversation in-channel until they're through. The hard part isn't the AI. It's connecting real-time behavioral data to the right channel, at the right moment, without losing the context of what the customer already told you. This session walks through how Xero built that connective layer, using Segment CDP to hold the profile and fire the trigger, Twilio's channels to carry the conversation, and enriching the profile to sharpen the next interaction.

1:30 pm - 2:00 pm

Twilio Conversation Intelligence now produces actionable intelligence on conversations in real-time, while Conversation Memory gives you full visibility into the lifecycle of memory and profile pipelines. Together, they form a power duo to draw insights and observe cross-channel conversations at scale. In this session, show you how to configure intelligence rules and triggers, and send results to your applications with webhooks. We'll also walk through how to monitor, debug, and trace memory operations end to end. Whether you have already built AI agents on Twilio or are just getting started, this talk will show you how to add intelligence and operational visibility to customer interactions at scale.

1:45 pm - 2:30 pm

Moving mission-critical applications and automated systems into live enterprise production creates a structural conflict: protecting revenue from digital fraud typically requires authentication friction, and that friction drives user drop-off in high-stakes APJ sectors like Banking, Travel, and Logistics, where alerts and transactional updates must be instantaneous and verified. At the same time, malicious networks exploit automation to turn utility communications, like account alerts and notifications, into liability vectors through industrialized SMS pumping. This session addresses enterprise cloud architecture, identity verification, and programmatic data governance as one connected problem, showing how to secure transactional pipelines without slowing them down.

2:00 pm - 2:30 pm
2:50 pm - 3:20 pm

Almost every company is running an AI pilot, but very few have successfully rolled it out across multiple countries. The jump from a small, successful test to a fully automated customer experience that works across a fragmented global footprint is where most projects stall. This panel delivers a candid post-mortem on what it actually takes to scale automation across the diverse APJ region. We will address the real-world engineering and operational challenges that teams face: managing data speeds, handling localised regulations, preventing broken handoffs to human staff, and securely connecting AI to your backend systems so it can actually execute tasks. Walk away with a battle-tested blueprint to rescue your projects from pilot purgatory and build an automated customer experience infrastructure that works at scale.

3:20 pm - 3:40 pm

Unforgettable customer experiences don't happen by accident - they rely on an invisible architecture of trusted data, unified systems, and intentional processes. Wrapping up the day's discussions, this talk zooms out to the overarching leadership challenge: How do we build organisations capable of turning complex technology into effortless customer moments?

3:40 pm - 6:00 pm

The best ideas happen at the intersection of conversation and play. End the day at our interactive reception - test-drive new features, challenge our technical experts with your toughest architecture questions, and connect with fellow builders over drinks and bites.

*Timings subject to change. Full details will be published closer to the event.
