Big news–Jim Remsik of Flagrant has officially announced XO Ruby 2026! 💫

Taking place 10 cities across U.S. and Canada, XO Ruby is a series of traveling events that, for locals, won't require a plane ticket and hotel stay.

Locations:
Leg 1 - West Coast Region: Salt Lake City - August 1st; Seattle - August 8th; Vancouver - August 15th
Leg 2 - Midwest Region (dates and cities TBD)
Leg 3 - East Coast Region (dates and cities TBD)

These are smaller, regional gatherings designed to bring together 60-100 people who are Rubyists or Ruby-curious.

And while the events are smaller than conferences, they are sure to have a big impact on local Ruby communities and the Ruby ecosystem as a whole!
