What to expect at Helvetic Ruby

A good mix of talks

We aim for a varied programme where everyone can learn something, no matter your level of expertise.

Ample break time

A single conference track with long breaks means you have enough time to meet people between the sessions. Or ask questions to the speaker that just came off stage. Or just rest for a bit. We want you refreshed and eager for the next presentation.

Extra activities on surrounding days

While the conference talks are on Friday, 23rd May 2025, we have also planned community events on Thursday and Saturday.

Workshops and community day on Thursday, 22nd May

On Thursday afternoon we offer 2 workshops! In addition, there will be a community space to work on open source or hang out with other attendees.

Visiting CERN

On Saturday, 24th May 2025, we organize a guided tour of CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research. The group tour is booked out BUT you can still visit CERN free of charge, just make sure you're not more than 11 people coming together. Plan your visit here.
