RubyConf Colombia’s 2017 speakers
We are pleased to announce this year’s speakers.
The selection process was a particularly difficult. We focused on getting more technical than previous years. We received 141 talk proposals. Most were high quality.
We ended up with a mix of mostly technical talks (not all specific to Ruby) keeping in mind to keep them all interesting to people with various levels of expertise. We will also have talks about leading software development teams, mental health and UX. The schedule should be live in the next few weeks.
