To begin our celebrations of the conference and the Ruby community, we'll be taking in a magnificent view of Melbourne (and the sunset) from the grand height of Eureka Tower's 89th floor! Dinner and drinks will be provided. Many thanks to Envato for supporting this event!

This event is free for all conference attendees.

After our speakers have finished sharing their insights and wisdom on our stage, we'll continue the conversations and fun within The Forum, taking full advantage of their striking and recently renovated theatre spaces. Again, dinner and drinks are covered, so you can kick back and hang out with Ruby friends new and old. Many thanks to Culture Amp for supporting this event!

Bring your laptop and your Ruby ideas and projects along to an open coding session hosted by the Melbourne Ruby community and local Rubyist James McLaren.
