Hi,

After the success of last year’s edition (29 sessions and about 200  
attendants) we are pleased to announce the second edition of the Rails  
Conference ([http://www.conferenciarails.org](http://www.conferenciarails.org)) for Spanish speakers, to be  
held in Madrid, Spain, on November 22nd and 23rd.

The official language of the conference is Spanish (no translation  
provided), although sessions in English from relevant members of the  
community are welcome.

Call for papers finishes by October 7th (sorry about the short notice).  
If you want to take a look at some of the received proposals under  
consideration, please visit [http://ponencias.conferenciarails.org](http://ponencias.conferenciarails.org)

This conference is an excellent meeting point for everybody doing  
professional development with Rails in Spanish-speaking markets and a  
good opportunity to put a face to some of the nicknames and e-mails you  
see on irc and mailing lists.

Sessions will be distributed in three different tracks covering  
technical sessions, tutorials, success cases, best practices and  
anything related to the Rails world. Registration is open and seats are  
limited (the largest conference room can fit about 200 people), so be  
quick in making your registration at  
[http://registro.conferenciarails.org](http://registro.conferenciarails.org) if you are planning to attend.

The conference is organized by a group of volunteers without a  
commercial interest and we have support from some local sponsors, so the  
price is kept at the minimum necessary to cover the expenses of  
infrastructure, catering and security. The price for the conference is  
EURO 75, which includes the pass for both days, two meals and a  
commemorative t-shirt. All the attendants, including speakers and  
members of the organization board, are subject to the registration fee.

For those not attending, we will be live-streaming the sessions and  
we’ll make available the videos at the conference’s web.

You can find all the information at [http://www.conferenciarails.org](http://www.conferenciarails.org)

Looking forward to seeing you there!
