Scottish Ruby Conference 2010

In April 2008, Scotland on Rails hosted 80 delegates and 20 speakers from the UK, Europe and around the world in Edinburgh for the first Ruby conference in the UK since RailsConf2006. The conference was judged an incredible success by all those involved. Keynote speaker Michael Koziarski called it the best regional conference he'd attended. We also ran a charity tutorial day and raised nearly £3000 for a local Children's Hospice.

In March 2009, we sold out all 180 tickets before the Early Bird period had finished. Those 180 attendees were joined by 35 speakers, again both local and international, including keynote sessions by Marcel Molina Jr and Michael Feathers and plenary talks by Dave Thomas, Yehuda Katz and Jim Weirich. The charity tutorial was run by Marcel and Chad Fowler and raised over £7000 for the Hospice.

In March 2010 we're taking it to the next level.

We'll be hosting nearly 300 speakers and delegates including keynotes from Jim Weirich and Tim Bray. Inspired by RubyConf, we'll be running a 5K. We have a fabulous new venue in the prestigious Royal College of Physicians and a new name. We've always been about more than Rails and the new name reflects that. Simple.

Scottish Ruby Conference 2010. See you there.
