In this episode, Bobbilee, a pivotal figure in the Rails community, shares the inspiring journey behind Rails Camp West. Bobbilee talks about the origins and motivations for creating Rails Camp West, rooted in her experiences at big tech conferences and her desire to create a more intimate, laid-back environment for tech enthusiasts. She highlights the first camp in 2014 and how it has grown into a beloved annual event with a 75% return rate among attendees, showcasing the community’s strong bonds.

Bobbilee delves into the distinctions between Rails Camp West and the original Australian Rails Camp, emphasising the intentional smaller scale of her gatherings to foster deeper connections and more effective networking among participants. Both camps, though different in execution, share a spirit of collaboration and passion for Rails and Ruby.
