After the successful DevCity San Francisco at Dreamforce and DevCity London, the Vonage Developer Relations team closed out the year at the apidays conference with the final DevCity stop - Paris.
The conference was held on 14-16 December 2022 and attracted 1700 attendees.
On opening day, David Darmon, Vonage’s VP of Sales EMEA, took to the stage for a talk called "Become a Conversational Commerce Trailblazer – the Drive for CX Innovation". The room was so crowded that there were barely enough seats!

Vonage Developer Advocate, Benjamin Aronov, ran a workshop titled ‘NoCode, LowCode, Boss Mode: Reimagining User Experience with AI Studio’ where participants left ready to build their first AI Studio agent after the session.
Vonage was a Gold Sponsor with an exhibition booth and plenty of swag. Attendees had a lot of fun solving our Anagram Challenge and there was a Vonage Raffle to win an Apple iPad Mini. We had a great time learning from the attendees and helping them learn more about Vonage APIs.

He was then joined by special guest, Arnaud Lauret, Author of ‘The Design of Web APIs’ (and known as the API Handyman), to discuss best practices for building APIs. Arnaud talked about API Governance, his work as an API researcher, and lessons learned in API Design.
After that, our .NET Developer Advocate, Guillaume Faas, delivered a live demo on enhancing collaborative experience with Video APIs.

The networking party concluded with…networking! Folks were able to connect and interact with like-minded developers while sipping tasty cocktails.
Lastly, the crescendo of the conference was the apidays 10th Anniversary Soiree sponsored by Vonage! Vonage held a special festive photo competition with an iTunes gift card prize. Participants were encouraged to wear purple Vonage Santa hats, purple bobbing headbands, and use our fun photobooth!
