XO Ruby

Oct 6, 2026 | Bringing regional Ruby conferences to your backyard.

These are smaller, regional gatherings designed to bring together 60-100 people who are Rubyists or Ruby-curious. And while the events are smaller than conferences, they are sure to have a big impact on local Ruby communities and the Ruby ecosystem as a whole!

Locations & dates:

✅ August 8 - Seattle, WA

✅ August 15 - Vancouver, BC

✅ September 22 - Austin, TX

✅ October 3 - Toronto, Ontario

 James, you’re currently three, let’s wait until you’re seven and then have a conversation about how our company could help you,’ versus trying to do that magic show for me as a three‑year‑old.”
