Our journey began with the Warsaw Meetup series, where a shared love for Ruby brought developers together. In July 2023, we celebrated this community with the inaugural Ruby Warsaw Community Conference, welcoming over 100 developers from across Europe.
In February 2025, Cracow became the stage for our winter edition, where participants explored new ideas, shared their expertise, and forged lasting connections in a vibrant atmosphere.
Building on these experiences, we’re excited to announce that in 2026 we’ll meet again in Cracow continuing the tradition of bringing the Ruby community together for inspiring talks, practical workshops, and exceptional networking.

The Venue
The Manggha Museum is not just a unique architectural gem but also a hub of cultural and technological innovation, making it the perfect venue for our gathering of Ruby enthusiasts. Did you know that the Ruby programming language was created in Japan?
Holding our event in a space dedicated to Japanese art and technology is a wonderful nod to Ruby's origins.
