With every year that passes more APIs are being published and integrated into the apps, websites, and online services we use every day. The promise of the programmable web is coming true.

Just in the last few months, the API landscape has seen numerous acquisitions and investments, proving that the API ecosystem is as relevant and exciting as ever.

APIdays San Francisco gathered thought and business leaders from the API community for a dialogue on the future of the programmable web, with the goal of understanding why APIs are growing from a multi-million to a multi-billion dollar market opportunity, and how we can take advantage of this movement.

The main discussions were around : 
- How to scale API management, promotion and integration in an exponential growing market?
- How to make interfaces and design patterns that scale for global integration and automation?

The APIdays conference took place 2013 June 21-22 at PARISOMA in San Francisco. The conference has been followed by an APIhackday on the 23rd.
