✨ Why are you doing this?

When RubyDay was cancelled in 2024, a number of aficionados decided to take this into their own hands and make it happen. So here we are! And by speaking to devs and sponsors, it looks like they appreciate what we're trying to do, which motivates us to do more!

✈️ How do I travel to Rubycon / 🇮🇹 Rimini?

The biggest international airport is Bologna Marconi Airport (BLQ). The railway system is very rich and efficient and connects Rimini to Bologna > Milan, Ravenna > Venezia, Ancona > south. So you can also fly to Florence, Milan and Venice. Check our Logistics page for detailed travel info including airports, trains, and driving directions.

🏨 Any updates on Hotels?

Yes! We have negotiated discounted rates at several hotels near the venue. Head over to our Logistics page for the full list of recommended hotels with prices and booking links. If you have any questions, reach out to us at info@rubycon.it or ask in our Discord channel.

🤔 I'm not sure if I should come all the way from outside Italy just for a single-day conference...

That's a very good point! Let us explain to you how we envisioned this. We want people to come from outside of Italy for a number of reasons: 1. A great day of technical talks, and a well organized nice dinner/party in the evening to make the most out of Friday. 2. We planned the event on a Friday (usually conferences are Tue-Thu), conveniently to attach the weekend to it. You can have a long weekend in Italy, and May is considered the best month (not too hot/touristy yet, but good weather). We're organizing a morning to visit the Rubycon mouths, and we're planning the rest of the day to visit Rimini (and maybe more). Meaning: if you come and don't know what to do - WE GOT YOUR BACK (for the whole Saturday at least).

🛂 Are you going to have Ruby Passports?

Yes! We're talking to Adrian and our Community friends to bring you the Ruby Passport experience. We're also working on a brand new stamp. Caesar would be so proud, he would stamp all over his salad!

🤷‍♀️ I have a great question which you didn't answer..
