Here’s The Schedule For Chirp, Twitter’s Developer Conference (April 14-15, 2010)
The schedule for The Twitter Developer Conference, Chirp, which runs over two days from April 14, is now online.
I received an email from Twitter about the conference, which says this:
Biz Stone (@biz) will set the tone of the day with Evan Wiliams’ (@ev) delivering a visionary keynote. Ryan Sarver (@rsarver) will share Platform announcements and roadmap details and Dick Costolo (@dickc) will talk about monetization and commercial accounts. We even have a few surprises peppered throughout the day.
The second day’s schedule will be available early next week. It has something for everyone. Deep technical tracks for developers, business sessions for managers, policy talks for implementers, birds of a feather roundtables for information sharing, and more. Our goal on the second day is to create an environment for everyone to network, share knowledge and collaborate. So in addition to the formal tracks, we’ll have informal areas dedicated to impromptu, community lead conversations. Twitter employees from all areas of the company will be in heavy attendance to answer any questions you have.
(I’ll update with the day two schedule as details become clear.)
The event is going to be held at Fort Mason, at this location:
They’re also having a hack day competition on April 15.
I won’t be in attendance, but it looks like fun. And maybe, just maybe, they’ve been saving the big news – stuff like advertising and premium accounts – for Chirp? We’ll know in less than a month.

Well, I'm planning to be there, so I'll be filing reports when I can. P.S.: “Day 2″ was originally supposed to be a 24-hour hack session. It looks like they've abandoned that idea, which is a huge relief for me. I was dreading the thought of having to miss some sessions because – well – because it's just freakin' stupid to pull all-nighters when developing code! So is the beer-and-pizza diet a lot of developers favor, but that's a whole other story.
As I wrote above, the hack day is still a main link on the front page of the Chirp site and they confirmed it was still going ahead in the email I received yesterday. Did they decide to cancel it today? If so, they're a bit slow in updating the site.
If I don't hear anything Monday, I'll start asking some pointed questions on the Google Group. I haven't heard anything about hotel rooms either – if they're expecting us to bring sleeping bags, I'd like to know about it so I can go buy one.
