Baltic Ruby loves to travel.
As you may already know, next year we’re joining forces with Ruby Unconf in Hamburg to host two conferences in one —
happening on June 12–13, 2026.

But on the way there, we decided to drop by Rails World and send our warmest greetings to the community.
Here’s what we’ve prepared for you!

Junior track
Supporting the growth of young Rubyists is at the heart of what we do. That’s why we offer free access for juniors and a special educational program during the conference, backed by amazing mentors and partners.
In 2025, we’re dedicating the Junior Bootcamp to the memory of Noah Gibbs, who made a huge impact on the Ruby community and education. Rest in peace, Noah. Your work lives on.

Bringing all the ideas, proposals, questions, and answers to one table with open-source project authors, contributors, and users — now that sounds exciting!
If you’re an open-source project author, apply to join the expo, choose a session format that works for you, and discuss, brainstorm, or hack together with the community.

How do we cook our lineup?
Start with two or three iconic keynotes as the base. Add a generous portion of local community speakers for that authentic flavor. Then, mix in a handful of speakers from around the globe to spice things up. Let the program committee carefully balance the ingredients to ensure the perfect blend of fairness and excitement.
The result?
A lineup full of diversity, where there’s always room for everyone. Bon appétit!
Main track
Why Baltic Ruby?
A community-driven conference travelling across the Baltic Sea promoting the growth of local communities and the global Ruby and Rails ecosystems.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Get your talk ready, polish those slides, pick your best jokes — and apply to speak at Baltic Ruby 2026!
In past years, we’ve had Matz bringing the latest Ruby updates and Tim Riley presenting Hanami.
This year, we’d love to give a bit more space to Rails — because diversity makes things interesting.

Submissions close on December 31.

Sponsorship
Community-driven conferences wouldn’t happen without companies that believe in giving back — and in return get a bit of recognition, access to talent and expertise, or the chance to show off a product developers might fall in love with.
Check out how we can bring value to your company — and how you can help make the next Baltic Ruby happen.

Blind Birds
Tickets 9 months in advance? No venue? No lineup? Not even keynotes?
Sounds like a gamble?
It is!

It is!
But we’re not asking you to pay — just secure your 30% discount for when ticket sales open.
This helps us understand demand and plan better.
Because if no one needs this conference… well, what’s the point?
If you’ve ever been to Ruby Unconf or Baltic Ruby, you know the vibe — and it definitely doesn’t leave anyone indifferent.

Baltic Ruby Bingo
And now — a special surprise for those of you attending Rails World with us!
Together with the speakers, we picked 25 words they’ll say from the stage.
Your task: mark them in the Bingo form. Just like in classic Bingo:
Hear a word – check it off. Complete the card – submit the form.
We’ll randomly select 10 lucky winners who’ll get full tickets to Baltic Ruby × Ruby Unconf in Hamburg!
Just one request: when you’ve marked all the words, please don’t shout “Bingo!” in the middle of the room — let’s not interrupt the speakers.
Instead, take a selfie with your card (you’ll find it in your attendee pack) and share it in the Campfire chat, yelling BIIINGOOOOO! in all caps, of course.
