November 6-8 in Orlando, FL, Ruby aficionados will gather for the Eighth International Ruby Conference (RubyConf08 to its friends).

Ilya will be presenting the snazzily named Ruby Heavy-Lifting: Lazy load it, Event it, Defer it, and then Optimize it.

And don’t forget, Ilya’s an award-winning Ruby dude, so it’s bound to be good! :)
