Announcements

CppCon is the annual, week-long, face-to-face gathering for the entire C++ community, organized by C++ the community for the C++ community.  This is an outstanding conference for the professional C++ programmer, and I encourage every serious C++ programmer to attend.

Proposals for talks at CppCon 2019 are now being accepted, through May 20, with decisions sent by July 8.  To submit a proposal, see the guidelines on the Call For Submissions page.

(Yes, I’m a little bit late to the party…)

The program for CppCon 2018 has been announced.  You can see it here.

In addition to my pre-conference class, I’m presenting two talks this year, both reprises (with updates) from C++Now.  Tuesday morning will be Fancy Pointers for Fun and Profit, and Wednesday morning will be Fast Conversion from UTF-8 with C++, DFAs, and SSE Intrinsics.

Are you doing something really cool with C++?  Then you should consider creating a poster and presenting it at CppCon 2018.

The purpose of the poster session is to encourage innovation and foster communication. With all the different kinds of talks — plenaries, keynotes, sessions, panels, open content, and lightning talks — we have lots of great ways to share ideas.  And as great as those ways are, that kind of sharing is also ephemeral. After the words are spoken, they’re gone, at least until the talks show up on YouTube. In contrast, posters provide a persistent medium for sharing knowledge throughout the week, one that enriches the whole CppCon experience.   Don’t forget that accepted poster presentations will have their conference registration fee refunded (one presenter per poster).

The poster submissions deadline is August 5th, with decisions sent by August 13th. For topic ideas, submission instructions, and advice on making the best possible submission, see the Poster Submissions page.

Here’s the announcement, and here’s the registration page.  This is a great conference, and I encourage C++ programmers of all levels to attend; there is something here for everyone.
