RubyWorld Conference 2025 Keynote Speakers decided
The keynote speakers for RubyWorld Conference 2025 have been decided. We invite Yukihiro Matsumoto who is the creator of Ruby, and Bernard Banta who is the Finplus Group CTO & co-founder.
The title will be announced later. Please look forward to it!
Yukihiro Matsumoto
Ruby Association
Chairman
Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto is the creator of the recently popular Ruby language. He started development of Ruby in 1993, so it's actually as old as Java. Now he works for Network Applied Communication Laboratory Inc. (NaCl, also known as netlab.jp) which has sponsored Ruby development since 1997. He also serves as a chairman of the Ruby Association, a non-profit organization focused on supporting Ruby. Since his real name is too long to remember and is difficult for non-Japanese speakers to pronounce correctly, he uses the nickname Matz on the Net.
Bernard Banta
Finplus Group
CTO and Co-founder
Finplus Group CTO & co-founder. African Ruby Community Chair. 14+ yrs in tech, solving financial exclusion problem. Africa tech, innovator & speaker.
