If I missed any (or have any information wrong) feel free to leave a comment and I’ll add it to the post. FYI, I’m purposely only showing conferences in the next 6 months. I’ll do another post in 6 months to show additional ones.




















It’s great to see so many ruby conferences coming up. I’ll be attending my first ruby conference at RubyConf India and am looking forward to hearing some big names from the ruby world speak there.
And of course like last year, that’s not all ;-)
There’ll be a RubyCamp in Lyon, France in April. http://www.rubyfrance.org/association/groupes/lyon The date isn’t defined yet. But it’ll be either the 17th of april of the 24th.
Let me know when a date is set Damien, with the website and cost and I’ll add it to the list.
We’re still waiting to see what the sponsorship looks like, but we’re hoping the cost will be ~$20 for the Great Lakes Ruby Bash.
Ok Gregg, I’ll let you know (it should be next week). I can already tell you the price : it will be free.
Thanks for mentioning Frozen Rails, it’s much appreciated.
Sadly, nothing in Southern California.

Hey Gregg,
We’re announcing Ruby Midwest conference if you’d please add it to the list. It’s July 16-17 & $75 early bird, $100 GA. Website is http://www.rubymidwest.com and we’ve got a banner ready at http://rubymidwest.com/images/banner_horns.jpg
Thanks!
Felipe & Luke: You’re added. Thanks for the heads up.
hey Gregg,
not sure if this counts but Ignite RailsConf is a separate, unofficial event distinct from RailsConf…http://igniterailsconf.com and our logo is here http://igniterailsconf.com/ignite/logo_image/4/ignite_RailsConf_180.jpg?1266248023
berlin … cool… ~1000$ .. not that cool
oh.. and thats early bird and without vat .. so regular price is about $1250
In Sept. the 3rd annual WindyCityRails.org conference will take place in Chicago, IL (US)
Last year’s turnout was impressive, and the quality of the conference, from the location, topics/presenters, audience, and networking opportunity was perfect for a one day event. Heck, even the food was great!
(the videos of the event were really top notch as well http://windycityrails.org/videos)
SunnyConf will be held on September 25th in Phoenix, Arizona. It will be the first Ruby conference in Arizona!
Tickets: $99 Date: 09/25
Registration available soon.
