Lessons, laughs and a life-size robot—this year’s Frontiers conference had a little something for everyone. Held at Pier 27 in sunny San Francisco, customers, partners and developers congregated to explore the conference theme: Frontiers of Possible. Throughout the two days of programming, they shared all the novel and clever ways they’re using and building on Slack and received pearls of wisdom from special keynote speakers including the unstoppable Serena Williams.
