Two-day, single track, relaxed conference.

18-19 September 2024

Community

With a focus on community, we're keeping it cozy with 100-ish attendees and some of the best well-known and up-and-coming speakers.

Friendly

Just as the name says, we're just a couple of friends putting together a conference how we'd like to see. Two days, single-track, breezy, friendly, and inclusive.

Outdoor activities

We began this tradition of engaging in an outdoor activity on the first day and heading to the mountains on the third day to get to know each other better.

Talks and more

We will listen to a few talks and do some outdoor activities together, learning not only about Ruby but a bit of History too.

Walkable city center

Bucharest once called "Little Paris", has a fantastic blend of pre-war, interbellic, and communist architecture for the walking buffs.
