Conference is a gamble. You never know how it will turn out, and it takes a bit of luck for everything to come together.
And we were lucky! With the speakers, the sponsors, the participants, and everyone who helped.
I want to say thank you for that. It’s all you!
See you in 2026!

The post-conference glow is still real ✨
We’re deeply grateful to everyone who made Baltic Ruby so special.
And now — we need your help.

Let’s make the next one even better — together!

Why do we do Baltic Ruby?

Because we can’t not do it.
Because #Ruby is more than a language — it’s a mindset, a culture, a joy.
Huge thanks to our organizers Ali Krynitsky & Sergey Sergyenko and the whole @cybergizer team.

Let’s do it again in 2026. 🫶

And then somehow the rooms filled up with developers
solving real problems and sharing real ideas.

A sad guy without headphones and two guys having fun in headphones.

With Silent Disco and without.
To get headphones at the Silent Disco, you need to say “Baltic Ruby” at one of the two entrances to the Angars courtyard, and give your full name.

🚀 Let’s hear it for @AppSignal — our awesome bronze sponsor at #Baltic Ruby 2025!

🧭 From error tracking to performance monitoring, AppSignal helps developers stay on top of their applications — and they brought that same energy to the conference.
