Engine Yard

We spend a nice sized chunk of our time traveling around the country and world, talking about technology and meeting up with fellow Rubyists. We'll be out and about a lot this year, and would love to see any and all of you somewhere along the way!

This year, EY will also be hosting several special events; there'll be hacking, food, giveaways, and all around general techie-goodness. Posts to follow about these events - add us to your RSS feeder and keep on top of upcoming EY news and events.

Upcoming EY Sponsored and Attended Shows:

Engine Yard will have teams attending and/or speaking at the following upcoming shows; email events@engineyard.com if you'd like to find a time or show to meet up with a specific EY individual. Be it a developer you hack on open source with, a support tech you'd like to buy a beer for, or a technical sales exec so you can pick on his or her brain, and we'll work it out.
