The world’s largest and longest-running gathering of Ruby on Rails enthusiasts, practitioners, and companies. #RailsConf2025

Eight weeks ago, when we made the agonizing call to cancel RailsConf 2020, we had no idea what the future was going to look like for all of us. Today, we are astounded and so, so thrilled to be able to share with you RailsConf 2020.2 Couch Edition: railsconf.com
