Rae Stanton switched into software development and found Ruby on the other side.
At her first RubyConf as a Scholar, she found a welcoming community and connections that lasted. Today, she contributes to Ruby for Good.
Thinking about applying as a Scholar or Guide?

Not every sponsorship looks the same, and it shouldn’t.
Ruby Central offers options from headline visibility to wifi, social events, or the Scholars and Guides program.
Align your sponsorship with what matters to your company.
Let’s talk:

Sponsoring RubyConf isn’t about placing your logo and hoping someone notices.
It’s about showing up where Rubyists actually are — hallway conversations, coffee breaks, and the developers building the ecosystem.
Be part of the community.
