We've got a night full of activities ahead, building up all the energy and inspiration for the next two days! Thursday kicks off with Ruby Banitsa, some awesome Board Games for early birds. Get ready!

Ruby Banitsa

A relaxed community meetup rooted in Sofia’s Ruby scene, Ruby Banitsa brings together developers, friends, and fresh pastry in a warm, informal setting. It’s the perfect soft landing before the conference begins - good conversations, familiar faces, and a taste of the local spirit that started it all. Welcome at 18:00 EEST at the Barter Community Hub.

Board Games

Right after the meetup, we'll stay in Barter's bar for a friendly and competitive (mostly competitive) evening of board games, good times, and plenty of laughs! It's the perfect way to warm up and get that energy buzzing for the main event. Help us out by claiming your attendance.

Day 1 starts at 9 o’clock in our super unique spot—the “Earth and Man” National Museum! We’re here for six hot takes and a fun museum treasure hunt, turning exploration into a shared adventure. Besides the technical gems on stage, get ready to be baffled by the real precious stones and minerals on display. We'll keep the good vibes and conversation flowing right into the afterparty. Time and place for the afterparty will be announced soon.

16.05, Saturday

Day 2 continues the journey with another full day of talks, learning, and exchange. The museum once again becomes both a backdrop and a playground, with the treasure hunt inviting attendees to look more closely, discover more, and connect in unexpected ways. It’s a day for deeper ideas and stronger community ties.

Let's wrap up the week by ditching the screens and hitting the trails! Vesti is leading a hike up Black Peak in Vitosha Mountain starting at 9 (in the morning). Got some time? Claim your attendance at this form.

It's the perfect way to snag some fresh air, incredible panoramic views of Sofia, and give those busy minds a break. Expect a chill, reflective close to the week—where the conversations flow, and the Balkan Ruby vibes go all the way to the top!
