I loved RailsConf and RubyConf but what made RubyHACK special for me was the size. It was a 2-day, single-track conference with about 300 people. That size felt really comfortable for me. I never felt overwhelmed and I was able to really get to know people over the course of the two days. The 2-day length was also perfect for me. As someone who is more of an introvert, 3-day conferences sometimes overwhelm me and by day 3 I am toast.
My favorite conference so far has been RubyHACK.

I have to remember for next year! I really want to start attending more niche Ruby conferences.
