Four days in Pune

Each day has its own character. Pick the days that make sense for you — or, honestly, come for all four.

Day 1

Conference

The first day opens with a keynote to set the tone — ambitious, warm, and community-focused. Then we roll into a full programme of talks across Ruby internals, Rails at scale, open source, and more. Lunch is together. Conversations happen everywhere.

  • Doors open 9 am
  • Opening keynote
  • Full-day talks & workshops
  • Evening social
See speakers
Day 2

Conference

The second day digs deeper. More talks, the lightning talk session (always a crowd favourite), afternoon workshops, and a closing keynote that sends everyone home thinking. The afterparty usually goes long — Punekars know how to host.

  • Talks & lightning sessions
  • Afternoon workshops
  • Closing keynote
  • Conference afterparty

Rails Girls

Rails Girls Pune

A free full-day workshop for women and non-binary people who want to build their first Rails app. Separate from the main conference but held alongside it, with coaches from the Rubyist community. Free to attend. No experience needed.

  • Free to attend
  • Beginners welcome
  • Expert coaches all day

Explore Pune Day

Explore Pune Day

The conference ends. The journey continues. A day out into Maharashtra — Sinhagad Fort, the Lonavala ghats, Pune's old city, or a food trail through the best the city has to offer. Opt-in, relaxed, and the perfect send-off.

  • Opt-in, not mandatory
  • Exploring Maharashtra together
  • Speakers & attendees together
