About

RubyConf is the world's longest running conference for Ruby developers, brought together to further discussion and learning about building, managing, and testing Rails applications. With a specific focus on Rails, conference topics can range from new users to administration to advanced techniques.

RubyConf is the annual fall conference for Ruby enthusiasts to gather and enjoy talks about new projects, meet and network with other Ruby developers, and hear from the community's leading minds.

Our Mission

Focused on fostering the Ruby on Rails programming language and the robust community that has sprung up around it, RubyConf brings together Rubyists, both established and new, to discuss emerging ideas, collaborate, and socialize in some of the best locations in the US.

RubyConf strives to provide an inclusive and welcoming experience for all participants. We have an anti-harassment policy that we require ALL attendees, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and staff to comply with — no exceptions. We also collaborate with a diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant.

For several more years, the growth of the community expanded and new programming of the Ruby language was created and incorporated into the event planning. In Chicago, Illinois of 2006, Ruby Central added a new dimension to the world of Ruby conferences when they produced the first official Ruby on Rails conference, better known as RubyConf.
