Over a final year, I’ve been following a technical and product selling sides of a special association called Glide.
With their RD group in Jerusalem, their selling group separate between Tel Aviv and New York and their CEO building relations in Silicon Valley, they have an implausible communications height that I, along with millions of others around a world, use.
Glide is a messaging app that lets we record and now send video messages adult to 5 mins in length to friends and family instead of promulgation an typical SMS or creation a phone call. The service is apropos ubiquitous: It’s on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, Apple Watch, Android Wear and Windows Phone.
During SXSW, Sarah Snow, a company’s village manager, will be pity a theatre with award-winning film director, Jules Dameron, who happens to be deaf. Dameron and Snow will rivet in a contention on a significance of video messaging for a deaf community, as good as how brands can rivet a Deaf and Hard of Hearing (HoH) communities: There are 37 million of them in a U.S. and even some-more worldwide.
Sarah has not usually risen to a arise in this role, though also serves as an instance of how a code that is operative on a new middle for communication can make record permitted for all.

As we allege in an increasingly digitally connected world, we have to rise new ways for a universe to promulgate with any other opposite a travel or around a world. Sarah brings not usually technology, though humanity, to a forefront here.
If we are a village manager, calm creator, code manager, or startup looking to learn all about community-building formed on technologies of currently and a future, we would be good served to join in and attend Sarah and Jules’ event on Monday, Mar 14 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. CT during Salon H in a Austin Hilton Downtown, opposite from a Austin Convention Center.
