CppCon 2022 Call For Proposals Diversity Dinner

by Timur Doumler

From the announcement:

We’re happy to announce the Call For Proposals for our Diversity Dinner Event at CppCon 2022!

This year, CppCon’s Diversity Dinner, which will be held on-site at the Gaylord Rockies in Aurora on Wednesday, September 14th, will be expanded to include a workshop to discuss processes, experiences, and paths forward for improving diversity and inclusion in the C++ community.

We are planning a series of 10-minute mini-talks, and we would like you to present at the event! Please submit your mini-talk proposal here by 28 August 2022. You will be notified about the acceptance decision soon afterwards.

The 10-minute mini-talks should be relevant to our audience. While any proposals on the topic of diversity and inclusion in the C++ community are welcome, this year we would like to focus particularly on the empowerment of our attendees. For example, great topics would be anything from “What did I learn from my experience as a deaf software developer” to “How to negotiate to get a 30% raise” or “What’s the best way to get everyone’s input in a diverse team”. Feel free to share your experience, thoughts, and tips!

Whether you’d like to be a presenter, or just attend the Diversity Dinner, listen, and participate in the discussion, please make sure you register for CppCon and book your ticket for the Diversity Dinner. We look forward to seeing many of you there!
