We have had a pretty busy couple of months around here at Spark for Devs. We've been spreading the good word about Cisco Spark to events around the world. I just wanted to take a minute here in this blog post to wrap up what we've been up to lately.

Back in San Francisco, California, USA, startup founders gathered to put their ideas to the test and learn from the best at LAUNCH Scale. We were there to hear the speakers and let everyone know how great Spark can be for a growing company.
November 15 - TADSummit in Lisbon
In Lisbon, telcom app developers gathered around to show off their stuff and exchange ideas with the best and brightest that the telcom industry has to offer.

November 17 - Spark Open House in NYC
In NYC, customers were invited to attend the first Spark Open House event. This one-day event included eight Cisco Spark stations covering Cisco Spark Message, Meet, Call, and APIs. The Spark APIs station covered integrations, bots, and open source development. Cisco Spark Depot partners Status Hero, Talos Digital, and Cumberland Group joined us to showcase the integrations and bots they have created. Connecting customers with our partners is our mission!
November 20 - Geektime TechFest in Tel Aviv
If you're at all interested in tech and were in Isreal on November 20th, this is exactly where you wanted to be! On top of a conference and a hackathon, Geektime TechFest also hosted a startup competition that boasted some pretty fabulous ideas including the winner of the competition, Imperson, which is a chat bot that promotes and sells products and services. There were so many fun times and too many pictures to pick just a few to post here. Check out their Facebook Page to see a bunch of fabulous moments from the event!
November 22 - Chatbot Summit in Tel Aviv
Speaking of chatbots, Chatbot Summit featured some of the greatest minds in the chatbot world who came together to talk, teach, and learn about the future of automated messaging. Taking place as part of Geektime TechFest, it was a simple to go back and forth and include Chatbots in the realm of technology as a whole.

November 25 - Codemotion in Milan
Who doesn't enjoy food and wine in Italy? Many tech evangelists presented at Codemotion ranging from IoT to Big Data. Jason Goecke opened up the event with an inspirational presentation focusing on developers and introducing attendees to Cisco DevNet. Steve Sfartz and Angelo Fienga dug into the interaction between IoT and humans.
