I'm Attending!June 12, 2026June 13, 2026Baltic Ruby 2026UTC**You can never have too many great talks! That’s why we’ve extended the CFP until January 31.**
Baltic Ruby is a conference that travels through the Ruby community — helping it gain more energy, more inspiration, and more resources to grow and support local Rubyists.
In 2026, we’re heading to Hamburg to join forces with Ruby Unconf and create a one-of-a-kind event that blends two worlds:
a traditional curated lineup of CFP-selected talks, and an unconference format where anyone can step up and become a speaker on the spot.
This Call for Papers is for the main lineup. We’re planning to feature 10 to 13 talks across two days.
In past years, we’ve welcomed speakers like Matz, Tim Riley, Marco Roth, and many other respected contributors and voices from the Ruby world.
But not only them.
We’ve always put special emphasis on diversity — and proudly made space for new voices. Around 50% of our speakers typically come from local communities or are first-time names on the Ruby stage.
The same goes for content.
Each year, the lineup has had its own unique flavor — with a tilt toward Ruby, frameworks, open source, or something else entirely. But there’s always room for fresh, relevant, and exciting ideas beyond any one narrow theme.
This year is no different.
We’d love to see a variety of talks that reflect where the industry is heading.
That said, in 2026 we’re giving special attention to Rails — so if that’s your jam, you’re extra welcome!
So — welcome to Baltic Ruby.
There’s space for every kind of talk here, and every submission will be reviewed by our program committee — made up of Ruby community and conference organizers from across Europe.Hamburg

# Building on Success
The first two Perl Community Conferences were tremendous successes, thanks to every one of our authors and speakers. Many thanks to PCC organizers Will "The Chill" Braswell and Brett Estrade, our friends at the Diogenes Hackerspace (in Austin, Texas), and all the participants both online and in person! We have already started releasing talk videos to YouTube, and preparing papers for the next issue of the Science Perl Journal.
# Future Plans in Perpetuity
Please mark your calendars for both July 3rd/4th (USA's birthday) and December 17th/18th (Perl's birthday), starting in 2025 and going forward every year from now on. Our current plan is to continue meeting in Austin until further notice, as it is a central location and we already have all of the conference equipment there.
Our PCC Summer conferences begin on July 3rd and run through July 4th, finishing in time for people to get home for fireworks if they so choose. Likewise, our PCC Winter conferences start one day early on December 17th and run through December 18th, giving people enough time to get home for their Christmas holiday travel plans etc.
Our 2-day format offers opportunities to have more talks, as well as more extracurricular activities such as Perl Hackathons, Bad Movie Night, and our official semi-formal dinner party soirée known as the AI & Science Reception. So, please set a permanent annual reminder in your calendar now, repeating every July 3-4 and Dec 17-18... forever. It is safe to assume the location will be Austin, TX indefinitely. Together we will put Perl back on top!Austin, Texas
