The RubyNation Conference is a two-day technical conference focused on Ruby, Rails and other Ruby-related technical subjects. Speakers will include a mix of celebrity Ruby professionals and accomplished local speakers.
Keynotes will be 75-minute presentations, while all other sessions will be 60 minutes. One session each day will be devoted to Lightning Talks, which will consist of up to four speakers covering brief, how-to topics. Go to the Speakers page to find out more about our scheduled presenters.
All of this adds up to two great days of Ruby topics!
