About

The Gotham Ruby Conference (GoRuCo) is a one-day event that will take place in New York City on May 22nd, 2010. It will be a technical conference aimed at highly motivated programmers interested in all things Ruby. You’ll spend the day among Rubyists, Rails developers, and language enthusiasts in New York City, home of Silicon Alley. The agenda will feature 5-6 speakers and an open session of lightning talks by attendees.

We’ll be starting the day at 9:00 am with registration, and the last talk will conclude at 6:45 pm. Pace University will be providing the venue. We can accommodate a wide range of dietary restrictions; if you have any special needs you should contact us at info@goruco.com. An afterparty for attendees will be provided at a local bar later that evening.

Attendance is limited to 175 people and will be opening in April.

If you have any questions, please contact us at info@goruco.com.

GoRuCo is organized by volunteers from NYC.rb and other New York-area rubyists.
