Firestarter Campaign
XO Ruby is a traveling conference series slated to take place in 6 US cities in 2025.
Choosing a one-day format focused on local/regional attendees allows us to reduce cost to attendees and risks to organizers and sponsors. We are working with local organizers to get locals involved and leave behind a detailed HOWTO to run a similar event on their own.
In a year of lasts we're excited to bring you the first XO Ruby. These events can only happen with your support.
What does an
XO Ruby event look like?
Contributions up to the first $30,000 will be matched by our foundational sponsor Cisco Meraki, the largest Rails shop you’ve probably never heard of.
