Our Speaker List is nearly complete, and features a bunch of great talks. We had almost ninety submissions this year, so the quality of talks will be very high. You won't want to miss RubyNation this year.

We are partnering with the Rails Girls DC to offer a full day workshop on building web sites with Ruby on Rails on June 13th.
The Rails Girls movement started as a way to encourage women to enter software professions by providing free web development workshops. From its recent beginnings in Europe, Rails Girls chapters have sprung up all over the world. Luckily, we have an excellent chapter right here in DC.
Like the Rails Girls, we believe that women have a lot of offer to the technology community and vice versa. So, to help out we asked if we could put on a workshop with them at RubyNation this year. The workshop is shaping up to be an awesome day of fun and learning, and will feature several of the RubyNation organizers and speakers as coaches, in addition to the regular Rails Girls DC members. If you are interested in attending the workshop, please see the Rails Girls DC web site for details and sign up before all the spots are gone!
