Ruby for Good 2025

September 11 - 14

Our Event

Ruby for Good holds an annual event where engineers, designers, product managers, and other gooders from all over the globe get together over a long weekend to collaboratively build projects in service of our communities. Gooders stay on-site, and hacking and socializing takes place in communal areas. Questions? Check out the FAQ or drop us a note on Slack or via email at info@rubyforgood.org.

This year we are traveling to the Shepherd's Spring Retreat Center just outside the Washington DC Area. This stunning venue is surrounded by lush forests and tranquil streams, offering an inspiring natural setting for our coding community. Shepherd's Spring provides comfortable workspaces, on-site accommodations, and is easily accessible from Washington DC.

We're very proud to once again be organizing the Ruby for Good conference. This conference, to our knowledge, is the first and currently only conference of this kind ever. We are bringing together technologists to learn, teach, and work on civic and open-source projects.

Why Sponsor?

By the very nature of our conference, our attendees are some of the most passionate, connected, and involved in the Ruby community. For companies looking to hire, this is an excellent opportunity to meet and interact professionally and socially with prospective candidates. By sponsoring, you are demonstrating your commitment to your community, open source, and the Ruby community as a whole.
