The Swiss Ruby conference travels back to Zürich
Helvetic Ruby 2026 is a single-track conference for Ruby programming language enthusiasts and professionals from Switzerland and abroad. We met in Bern in 2023, Zürich in 2024 and Geneva in 2025. We are happy to welcome you back in Zürich in 2026.
2026 speakers
Running Native Extensions and Ruby Code in Parallel Threads
The database diet that slimmed down our codebase too.
Regex as Easy as /(abc)?/
Mirrors Don't Have Opinions
From Rails 3.0 to Rails Edge - 15 years of Rails upgrades in a 3 million line monolith

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, 20th November 2026, we have also planned community events on Thursday and Saturday.
