Rails Girls Organizer's Weekend

TERVETULOA!! Let's meet in Helsinki

So many Rails Girls Chapters have evolved worldwide. Most of all those enthusiastic people organizing them never really met. That's why we are organizing this meetup. The weekend from 13-14th of September 2014 (right after Frozen Rails) is Rails Girls Organizer and Coaches Weekend in Helsinki!

Go to Frozen Rails

Kisko supports us by offering discount tickets for the conference for all Rails Girls Organizers and Coaches coming to Helsinki for that Weekend. And our friends at Travis CI are sponsoring some free tickets. Please indicate when you register for our Weekend whether you'd like to get one.

Why Helsinki?

After a little brainstorming it became clear, that the most logic location for a first meeting is Finland, as it is the origin of the initative. Plus it can be combined with visiting one of the most important Rails conferences, Frozen Rails.
So this year it's Helsinki! And who knows, maybe this can become a yearly thing, happening on different continents in the future?
