[**Rails Conf 2023 in Atlanta**](https://railsconf.org/) is just around the corner and the thoughtbot team will be there! We always have a great time at Rails Conf whether we're giving talks, attending talks, or getting the opportunity to meet up with more of you in person.

We're thrilled that several of our colleagues are speaking this year! On Monday of the conference thoughtbot Principal Developer (and co-host of the [Bike Shed](https://www.bikeshed.fm/)!) Joël Quenneville will present [The Math Every Programmer Needs](https://railsconf2023.sessionize.com/speaker/49d2a7ca-7d73-40d4-94be-4da4a3b1856a) and on Wednesday, thoughtbot Development Team Lead, Aji Slater will present a talk titled [Hotwiring my React Brain](https://railsconf2023.sessionize.com/session/453457).

Come see their talks or reach out if you see them (or other thoughtbotters) in the hallway. We're always excited to meet new people in the Rails community and look forward to connecting with you.

We're hosting a "friends of thoughtbot" meetup on Monday after the day's events and hope you'll stop by. Find us at Centennial Olympic Park near Garden Pavillion #1 between 5 and 7pm, just a few blocks from the conference.
