Shaping the
future of
Ruby on Rails

Rails World was a two-day, two track community conference in Austin, TX where the Rails community gathered to enjoy technical talks, demos, networking, and keynotes about the latest features and best practices in Rails development.

All Rails World 2026 talks now online

While all four keynotes got everyone talking about AI, this year’s talks covered a good balance of what's new in Rails and how Rails developers are putting AI to work: from harnesses to Herb, Active Search to HotCell, generators to Lexxy, and so much in between. If you got caught in the hallway track, or couldn't make it to Austin, catch up on what you missed on YouTube.
