Ruby Underground x Austin Tech Leaders

​The Ruby Underground is a private, invite-only gathering for some of the most influential builders, leaders, maintainers, founders, and contributors in our community.

​Join us on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM in the Cannon Room at Eberly during Rails World 2026 for an evening of great conversation, new connections, and a few surprises.

​Hosted by thoughtbot in collaboration with our friends at Beyond Finance and AppSignal, this event is designed to bring together people who are shaping the future of Ruby and Austin's tech scene. Whether you've been part of the community for decades or are helping define its next chapter, this is an opportunity to connect with peers in a more intimate setting away from the conference crowds.

​Expect craft cocktails, light bites, and thoughtbot's signature social games designed to spark meaningful conversations and introduce you to people you might not otherwise meet.

​Attendance is limited and by invitation only.
