About

RailsConf is the longest-running conference dedicated to the Rails framework, bringing together developers from around the world to share knowledge, collaborate, and shape the future of the framework. As the final RailsConf, our 2025 conference will be a landmark event, celebrating nearly two decades of innovation and community.

Our Mission

Focused on fostering the Ruby on Rails programming language and the robust community that has sprung up around it, RailsConf brings together Rubyists, both established and new, to discuss emerging ideas, collaborate, and socialize in some of the best locations in the US.

RailsConf strives to provide an inclusive and welcoming experience for all participants. We have an anti-harassment policy that we require ALL attendees, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and staff to comply with — no exceptions. We also collaborate with a diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant. Review our Policies for more details.
