Ruby Triathlon

The Ruby Triathlon is a tradition that was established in 2023. Born from a shared love for Ruby, community, and the thrill of conferences, the Ruby Triathlon challenges enthusiasts to attend three Ruby conferences in a row without returning home.

It’s not a race or a competition; it’s about connection, growth, and experiencing the diversity of Ruby communities around the world. Each stop in the triathlon offers new opportunities to learn, share, and celebrate our shared passion for programming.

Whether it’s discovering new techniques at a talk, forging friendships over coffee, or just soaking in the vibe of a new city, the Ruby Triathlon is a journey of growth and inspiration. Come be part of this exciting adventure—pack your laptop, book your flights, and join the triathlon.

Building on the success of the cross-continent edition in 2024, we cordially invite you to join us for the 2025 event.

In 2025, we have three conferences lined up throughout September.

• Rails World, Amsterdam, September 4–5
• Friendly.rb, Bucharest, Romania, September 10–11
• EuRuKo, Viana do Castelo, Portugal, September 18–19

No special ticket is required to participate in the Triathlon, but you need to acquire a ticket for each of the conferences yourself.

The Triathlon is not affiliated with any of the conferences. This initiative is community-driven, encouraging attendees to experience these three conferences while coordinating travel, activities, and accommodations in each city.

Stay tuned for recommended travel itineraries to help you plan and get the most out of your journey.

We can't wait to see you there!
