Tropical on Rails

Tropical on Rails - The Latin America Rails Conference was created by Frevo on Rails (Pernambuco Ruby User Group) in 2012. It hosted two regional editions in 2012 and 2013, and two international editions in 2014 and 2015. On April 4th and 5th of 2024, Tropical.rb returned, this time in São Paulo, for its 5th edition. We are a non-profit conference and the only international Rails event in Latam.
