Twilio is a customer engagement platform combining powerful communications APIs with AI and first-party data. Open and flexible, they assist in platforming digital experiences that spotlight creativity and freedom for digital builders and makers.

Somerset House hosted a thoughtfully curated lunch and dinner service, seating 55 guests in our Embankment Galleries, for Twilio’s annual SIGNAL event – a yearly assembly of developers, business leaders, and innovators from industry-leading companies for two days of networking and hands-on learning. Working with our accredited suppliers, Event Concept, and AP&CO, this all-day event began with a specially designed social impact lunch, wherein sustainability and community were at the heart of every dish. Guests were treated to a seasonal menu showcasing locally sourced ingredients, designed to foster connection and conversation around the important societal issues of the day.

Thank you so much for another epic executive dinner and social impact lunch. To quote our CEO, “that was amazing.”

Every detail reflected our commitment to innovation and excellence, leaving a lasting impression on all in attendance.
