RailsConf 2025 Recap - Kevin Murphy

Just as I’ve done in the past, I joined Ruby Central members for the CFP coaching sessions. We helped others with their proposals in small groups. This was a great opportunity to meet with prospective speakers and workshop ideas to submit for the conference. I’m glad that Ruby Central runs these events. They’re a great opportunity for prospective speakers. If you’re considering submitting to a future RubyConf, I hope you’ll join a session. I received the honor of being selected as a speaker for the final RailsConf. I followed my preparation playbook as usual. I took one deviation. I usually consider some smaller public audience to test it on first. This is both for feedback and to gain comfort running it for a crowd. This talk is very specific to RailsConf and me. Instead I kept it between myself and a very tight group of collaborators.
