Early-bird tickets (USD 85) are available until September 30th After
that
tickets will cost USD 100. Tickets include:
- Access to all talks during both days
- Access to Ruby Funday Sunday!
- Lunch for both days
- Coffee breaks
- Conference T-shirt
- Drink-up organized by sponsors
- and other surprises
Here are some answers to the FAQ we have been receiving:
Why does the conference cost USD 85 when there are conferences that are
free?
A lot of people have asked this question and we believe we need to make
some
clarifications. This is a non-profit event, every penny we receive will
be
spent on the conference. There are many costs associated with organizing
such a big conference (Two-day event space rent, lunch and coffee
breaks,
online translation, sound system and other expenses)
Can I register now and pay later?
Yes, of course. You just have to fill out the registration form and
reserve
your seat! You can pay later.
Just remember that you have to pay before September 30th to get the
early-bird discounted price.
Have you considered the people who don’t speak English or Spanish?
Of course! There will be a team to perform live translations in
English/Spanish and Spanish/English for all talks. As an assistant you
will
be able in what language you want to listen to each talk.
What is the Ruby Funday Sunday?
We are preparing a special event for the Sunday (November 6th) before
the
conference, for everybody who is registered. We are planning a set of
activities for all levels (Ruby on Rails workshops for beginners, Ruby
hackathons for advanced hackers)
We haven’t finished defining the list of activities, so we are still
open to
suggestions!
We look forward to seeing you in November!
Cheers,
