summary
Organizer explains why THE CONF exists, how a shift from Enterprise Java to Ruby on Rails led to founding a company and running two hundred talks over ten years, and how a self-imposed chaos monkey strategy — quitting RubyConf Brazil, starting a new event and doing long trips to underrepresented cities — aims to prove Brazilian talent abroad. Claims: event reaches 360 attendees, English sessions to break isolation, built a reproducible conference model and already shows optimistic results.
