With Twitter facing its own set of issues, it comes as no surprise that the social network opted out of hosting its annual Flight developer conference. The event was supposed to happen again this month and they started planning it but it eventually got scrapped. According to Will Stickney, Twitter’s spokesperson, Twitter wants to focus on smaller developer events.

“We heard feedback after last year’s Flight conference that small, more intimate events are where our developer community are seeing the most value. So instead of holding a single developer conference in San Francisco, we are hosting a series of regional developer events, continuing the momentum from our global #HelloWorld. Given the diversity of things developers are building with Twitter (from MoPub, to the Ads API, to Gnip, Fabric, and more) having more local events will enable us to engage with our community in a much more personal way,” Twitter says in a statement.
