Could someone with more insight as to the decision-making at Ruby Central weigh in on what's going on here? Between this and drama with the conferences over the years I'm just confused. They've been busy launching podcasts and doing fundraising, email campaigns and all that. Has there been a change in leadership?

I'm still not clear about why they dropped RailsConf. I assume the biggest sponsors threw their weight behind Rails World?

It feels like funding for conference participation at US companies has plummeted since COVID. Pre-COVID, most engineers I worked with would attend at least one conference a year on the company’s dime. That’s now become uncommon for anyone below staff engineer or director level, at the places where I work anyway.
