Railsconf 2009 Conference Coverage

This year at Railsconf 2009, over a thousand Ruby on Rails developers descended on Las Vegas, Nevada and Envy Labs was there to do conference coverage. Several videos were produced which included:

  • Daily summary videos
    Throughout each day of the conference, we created a summary video which later played just before the keynote the following morning. These videos helped give attendees a glimpse of what people were buzzing about from the day before. The videos were also posted online at the same time, so that those who couldn't make the conference could feel more informed about what was happening at the event.
  • Summary of speaker talks
    After the conference we posted a summary video which showed nearly all of the speakers giving a short summary of each of their talks. These videos were extremely valuable not only to those who couldn't make the conference, allowing them to see what topics were covered with links for them to get more information about each subject, but they also allowed attendees to get a short refresher on what they'd learned.
  • Sponsorship opportunity
    New Relic sponsored the after-conference talk summary video, providing them a unique opportunity to market directly to the developers their product targets. In this instance, they were guaranteed to market directly to leading edge Ruby on Rails developers - their primary market.
