RubyNation Early Registration is Open!
RubyNation’s conference organizers are proud to announce that RubyNation, the DC area’s Ruby and Rails developers community conference, is back, bigger and better! This year’s RubyNation will be held June 12-13 in Reston, Virginia.
Early registration is available by clicking here (early pricing is available until April 5th): http://rubynation.eventbrite.com/ or from the web site: http://rubynation.org
This year’s RubyNation conference will feature many luminaries in the Ruby and Rails community, including presentations from Chad Fowler, Hal Fulton, Yehuda Katz, Russ Olsen, David A. Black, and Bruce Tate. Our list of proposal submissions looks awesome, too. We will be publishing the complete list of speakers and a schedule very soon. We have already selected the full list of speakers and are in the process of confirming them, so it won’t be long before we announce them. We will have at least 18 speakers this year, and two lightning talk sessions.
The location will be great, too, the Hyatt Regency Reston. The Hyatt is a first class conference center, with great food, and excellent facilities. It is located in the Reston Town Center, which is full of cool restaurants, bars, and shops, all within a few blocks of the hotel. RubyNation will also be accessible by public transportation via a direct bus link to the West Falls Church metro station to within a few steps of the hotel.
We have worked hard to keep the RubyNation conference affordable and yet improve its quality and accessibility significantly. We hope you’ll agree and join us for RubyNation 2009!
