Madison+ Ruby Conference Returns August 1-2 After Five-Year Hiatus

Popular show for programming community puts out call for presentations; Sponsorship opportunities and ticket sales now available

MADISON, Wis., March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Madison+ Ruby conference, an event bringing together Ruby programming language enthusiasts from across the country and beyond, is set to return after a five-year hiatus. Event organizers report the intimate, single-track show will be held August 1-2 at the Overture Center for the Arts in Madison. A call for presentations, sponsorship opportunities and ticket sales was also announced.

Ruby is mainly used to build powerful web applications quickly in a simpler and more productive way. Nowadays, it's best known for its connection to Ruby on Rails, a server-side web application framework that remains one of the most popular development environments. At the close of 2022, there were 2.4 million Ruby developers worldwide, and according to Hired's 2023 State of Software Engineers report, Ruby on Rails was the most in-demand skill for software engineering roles.

Madison+ Ruby is a premier event for the Ruby community, offering opportunities for learning, networking and professional development. Attendees can explore Ruby trends and technologies, engage with industry experts and enjoy social activities that make the experience both enriching and fun. It's an ideal venue to deepen your Ruby knowledge, connect with like-minded individuals and contribute to the growth of the Ruby ecosystem.

The conference website provides additional information on:

• Call for presentations: Speaker submissions are being accepted through April 30, 2024 at 12:00 am PDT. Sessions will be led by Ruby developers and industry experts.
