RailsConf 2009 Is Heading to
Las Vegas!
Happening May 4-7, 2009 at the Las Vegas Hilton, RailsConf is the official event for the Ruby on Rails community. If you're passionate about Rails and what it helps you achieve—or are curious about how Rails can help you create web frameworks better and faster—RailsConf is the place to be. Learn more about RailsConf.
Speak at RailsConf 2009
Ruby Central and O'Reilly Media are seeking leaders for RailsConf sessions and tutorials. Are you a hacker, Rubyist, trainer, web developer, Rails system administrator, and/or entrepreneur with something to share with the Rails community? If so, submit a proposal to speak at RailsConf 2009.
For RailsConf 2009, we're keeping the Call for Participation open longer — three months longer — to leave room for even more up-to-the minute Rails topics to come through. That means most of our speakers won't be notified that their proposal has been accepted until mid-March. But that also means that you can go in and edit your proposal as many times as you'd like before the CFP closes on February 17.
One other change for 2009: we know that most Rails users are professionals as well as fans, so for the first time, RailsConf will take place completely during the work week, not over a weekend.
Have an Idea for RailsConf?
Do you have an idea or suggestion for something you want to see at the next RailsConf but don't want to formally submit a proposal? Then leave your idea on the wiki.
