Did you know that according to Return Path’s Email Intelligence report, email, on average, drives a 4,000% return on investment?

At the end of February, SendGrid had the honor of attending and co-sponsoring Heroku’s flagship developer event, Waza, in San Francisco. We were thrilled to be a part of an event dedicated to inspiring developers to bring creativity to their coding. The emphasis on art and technique was evident in the event’s décor, food, and various session talks. It’s not every day that you get to discuss Ruby techniques while learning the art of origami! Other activities like quilting, printmaking, and bookbinding were designed to bring new technical artistry out of the attendees. Check out photos from the event to see what we…

SendGrid Delivered’s spring tour started off with a bang in Austin last week. Longhorn fans were in luck—we hosted the event at Texas Memorial Stadium’s Centennial Suite that overlooks the field. A pretty exciting background to inspire our email deliverability chats!

It’s always inspiring to hear Jim speak—especially when he tells the SendGrid story. He’ll be presenting at both our…

Everyday you go into work to solve problems.  It’s fantastic when you can get the issue resolved quickly but sometimes you have to sit and think about the issue, turning it over in your mind.  A few weeks ago, we decided to give developers a challenge and want to share the results with you here on the blog. We had the opportunity to sponsor Apps World at Moscone West in San Francisco, February 7th-8th. It was a large event with over 5k attendees expected.  Nearly every industry weighed in from banking to energy, telecom to travel, API providers to public companies with billion dollar revenues…
