FiftyThree
Tools for creativity: The story of Paper, Pencil, and Paste by FiftyThree
October 6, 2017

People are at their best when they create, and FiftyThree has been reimagining technology to unlock creativity and innovation for millions of creative thinkers around the world. This started with Paper, which set the standard for touch based creation on iPad, Pencil, the first commercial digital stylus to support simultaneous pen and touch, and now Paste the first presentation tool designed for Slack.

This talk will share the story of FiftyThree, the art and science that went into its products, and the inspiration that came from sitting at the intersection of design and engineering. Topics include: mobile applications, hardware and software design, collaboration tools, bots, business and entrepreneurship.
