BAPI San Francisco

As we pack our bags to bring the Sixth Annual Business of APIs conference east to the bustle and boom of the Big Apple, we can't help but recall all the great API success stories that the speakers at BAPI SF shared last week. APIs are moving more and more onto center stage in business. From innovation to affiliation, we saw how banking, technology, customer service, sports, media, retail and more all benefit from creating platforms for business with APIs.

The Business of APIs Conference (BAPI) is here and we are proud to announce San Francisco has sold out! 

Don’t despair if you didn’t get a golden ticket, the event will be live streaming!

We will also be live tweeting, so be sure to follow us @mashery or look for tweets with the #BAPI2012 hashtag.

Leading up to the elections, a lot of people have become poll-savvy. They obsess over daily tracking stats on sites like Real Clear Politics. It’s not hard to understand why—even for non-political junkies, it’s fascinating to monitor national trends in real time.

Think Best Buy—a household name by any measure, the specialty retailer has a huge market share in sales of consumer electronics in the U.S., along with a growing presence in such regions as Canada and China. Now switch to Whit.li, a startup with a solution for SMB brand and social media managers to segment and engage social influencers in real time, based on demographics, rare interests, life-stage and personality.

What does The New York Times have to do with Best Buy? Or Intuit and ESPN? Maybe USA Today and Twilio?

The easy answer is that they are among the companies you’ll find represented at the annual Business of APIs (BAPI) conference, the premier global forum for API experts and professionals. The conference will be in the Julia Morgan Ballroom at Merchants Exchange in San Francisco on Oct., 360 Degrees in New York on Oct. 17 and Altitude 360 - 29th Floor at Millibank Tower in London on Nov. 6.
