RingCentral Begins Virtual Developer Conference This Week

One of the many fallouts from the global COVID-19 crisis has been the cancellation of user conferences, where a company’s clients and partners from all over the world can gather in person to share ideas, learn about new updates and participate in workshops. For some, the need to do so is urgent, so they’re planning virtual events instead of in-person ones.

RingCentral, Inc., a provider of cloud-based communications and collaboration solutions for businesses, is among the latest companies to announce an all online conference. The company’s first-ever virtual developer conference, called “Code Together,” will take place from October 20 to 22, 2020. The conference is expected to bring together developers from around the world to explore new developments in business communication technology with fresh thinking from leaders and innovators including Guy Kawasaki, chief evangelist at Canva, and Kira Makagon, chief innovation officer at RingCentral.

According to the company, the RingCentral developer community now exceeds 45,000. Primary topics will include what’s new at RingCentral for developers, RC integration and how to customize your call center’s customer experiences to differentiate your business from competitors. A RingCentral platform roadmap will also be discussed in-depth. The conference will conclude with an online award ceremony honoring the most active RingCentral developers, innovative creators, and RingCentral’s Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partners.

“If you want to provide users with productive and effective communications services within business workflows, it must combine great functionality with reliability and security with open APIs,” said Kira Makagon, chief innovation officer, RingCentral, in a statement announcing the all-virtual conference. “This commitment to providing access to our platform services to developers has always been a core principle for RingCentral. We look forward to our developer community joining us to hear from your peers, from industry leaders, and customers. If you’re a developer interested in the future of communications, this is where you need to be.”
