I got to hang out with Drew Bragg on the Coding Coders podcast and we talked about a ton of random stuff from personal software to AI workflows and of course a shoutout to @blastoffrails.bsky.social

Early Bird ticket pricing is going to expire March 31st at midnight! Don't wait and miss out on these prices! $175 is an incredible steal!

Studies show that a Monday or Tuesday, around 3 months before your travel date is the best time to book. There are still early bird tickets left for Blastoff Rails so this confirms it! Now is the time to get yours!

Got to see both our keynote speakers together at @sfruby.com
@inazarova.bsky.social and Kieran Klaassen!
I have talked to multiple people who mentioned that because everything is moving so fast it is difficult to submit a good CFP for an AI talk that won't happen for several months. So I am trying out a new thing!
CFP Update! If you want to give an AI talk but don’t want to lock yourself into a topic that may be irrelevant in 6 months, we are accepting proposals that simply say you want to do an AI talk, you don't know what it will be, and here is why you are the best person to give it anyway!
I sat down with Amanda Perino of the Rails Foundation to ask her how Rails World comes together. She really pays attention to the finer details of the conference experience and I really enjoyed this interview. I hope you will to!

If you are thinking of submitting a talk to the Blastoff Rails cfp, listen to this episode of Remote Ruby for a peak behind the scenes!

Early bird tickets are also on sale if you don't want to be a speaker but want to experience the fun!

Our CFP is officially live! It is open for a couple months so you can ponder your best ideas (or several) but don't overthink it. Also, if your talk is selected we pay for your flight and hotel!
Another fantastic interview with a Ruby conference organizer! This time with Hana Harencarova. I really hope I can make it to Helvetic Ruby someday. Their 2026 event will be in November in Zurich!

@cirdes.bsky.social is one of those people that knocks things out of the park. He did it with @tropicalonrails.bsky.social and he did it with this interview. Glad I got to chat and get some of this conference organizing knowledge. Please check it out! rubyconferenceproject.com/2025-08-08-i...
We updated our sponsor page with a fun package builder! Play with it, try to break it, send it to a potential sponsor!

When you ask anyone about organizing a conference in the Ruby or Rails space @andycroll.bsky.social's name eventually comes up. His annual conference, @brightonruby.com, is something to aspire to. I could have spent hours on this call. Thank you Andy!
