We are thrilled to announce that Haggis Ruby is back for 2026!

This year, we’re leveling up—moving from a single day to a full two-day conference on the 23rd and 24th of April. Join us in the heart of Scotland as we gather at The Studio, Glasgow, for forty-eight hours of deep dives into Ruby insightful talks, workshops, and "hallway track" conversations, that make our community so special.

Whether you’re a seasoned Rubyist or just starting your journey with the language, Haggis Ruby is the place to connect, learn, and celebrate the craft of coding in one of the UK’s most vibrant cities.
