Today is the last day to grab your general SF Ruby admission ticket and the last chance to apply for the Scholarship program. Come say hello to Evil Martians in real life and join the creative, generous, and unapologetically mischievous Ruby community at SF Ruby!
On November 19-21, SF Ruby + Evil Martians are hosting the SF Ruby Conference at the picturesque Fort Mason in San Fransisco.
🎟️ Get tickets. If you’ve already got your ticket, you should have recieved an invitation and can jump over to our new site to generate and show off your custom cloud card!
Our goal with this conference is to inspire new generations of businesses to build with Ruby. We’ll have 3 main tracks that reflect this forward-looking focus:
Speakers
You’ll meet the open source authors shaping what’s next for Ruby and Rails, like Marco Roth and Carmine Paolino, as well as big stars like José Valim, Jeremy Evans, Dave Thomas and Vladimir Dementiev.
A selection of SF Ruby speakers, full list here.
Ruby startup demos
We’re also showcasing rising Ruby and Rails stars across many domains, incluing AI, healthcare, finance, and a lot more.
Just a sample of all the startup demos, see the full list here.
CTO and VC roundtables
Naturally, SF Ruby will bridge the tech and buisness. But we’re taking it a step further.
Day 1 will feature a CTO roundtable featuring Gusto Co-founder and CTO Edward Kim + Chime Financial Co-founder Ryan King.
Day 2’s schedule includes a roundtable discussion with venture capitalists interested in Ruby-based startups.
Plus, scholarships
Of course, part of looking to the future is passing the torch to the next generation. That’s why SF Ruby is welcoming new and emerging Rubyists to SF Ruby Conf 2025 through our Scholarship Program. This is for students, recent graduates, and folks early in their software careers.
We’re betting on a future built with Ruby, and the builders who are going to make it happen.
