Ruby Midwest is an upcoming two-day, single track regional Ruby conference taking place in Kansas City on July 16 and 17. Today they announced their speaker list (including our own Michael Bleigh, a Kansas City native) and we’re happy to blog about our involvement with the conference. Intridea is sponsoring OMGWTFBBQ, a dinner at the conference hotel with Kansas City barbecue open to all attendees after the first day of the conference.

Catering will be provided by Fiorella’s Jack Stack Barbecue (it’s delicious, trust us). So if you’re heading to the conference (with keynotes by Yehuda Katz of Engine Yard and Chris Wanstrath of GitHub) and you want to take a few hours, enjoy the best food Kansas City has to offer and socialize with your fellow Midwest Rubyists, RSVP for OMGWTFBBQ today!

More details will be announced as the conference draws near, but we’re looking forward to helping make Ruby Midwest’s first year a runaway success as a regional conference. See you in Kansas City!
