3 Test events for Meeting C++ 2021

By Meeting C++ | Jul 29, 2021 02:50 AM | Tags: meetingcpp community

In August, Meeting C++ online will host 3 test events on 3 different online platforms to test which one should be chosen to host Meeting C++ 2021.

Testing online platforms for Meeting C++ 2021

by Jens Weller

From the article:

For this year, the conference of Meeting C++ is online only. I've made this decision last year, when it was clear that this is an option that is available. With predictions of a 4th Wave in Europe in Fall, it seems to be the right decision. Since 2020 Meeting C++ online gathered a community of folks interested in C++ and attending online events into a User Group. With one year of experience in hosting online events, its time to move forward and see which platform should host these events in the future.

5th August: Teaching C++ with Victor Ciura
12th August: Ivan Cukic - Members through a looking glass!
19th August: Peter Sommerlad - Beyond rule of zero

Four more days for CppCon Early Bird discount -- EB ends July 31

cppcon-004.pngIf you've been thinking about registering for CppCon 2021 in person or online, this week is a great time -- you have a few days left to get the Early Bird discount!

Early Bird Deadline is This Week

by Jon Kalb

The article:

If you’ve been thinking about registering for CppCon 2021 onsite or online, now is the time — EarlyBird discount ends this week!

Because of the health and travel situation, we know that many who want to attend onsite don’t know for certain yet if they can make it onsite. Here are some things to help ease your mind about registering:

  • Any Online Early Bird registration can be upgraded later (even after the Early Bird deadline) to an Early Bird rate onsite registration. So if you get an Online Early Bird registration now, you will lock in the Early Bird rate if you later convert it to any of our onsite registration options.
  • Any onsite registration can be converted to an online registration with full refund of the difference in rate, no questions asked.
  • Any registration can be cancelled for a full refund with no questions asked until the day before the conference (October 23rd). So if you plan to attend onsite and get an Early Bird onsite registration now, you can get your money back in full if it turns out international travel restrictions or any other issues get in the way.
  • The Gaylord Rockies‘ refund policy for hotel room reservations is a complete refund with notice that is three working days prior to arrival date.

These registration/refund policies and the low price on Online Early Bird registration make that a no-brainer. Online registration gives you exclusive early access to all the videos that we’ll be adding to the CppCon YouTube channel, but it is easy to justify the cost of Online Early Bird registration even if you are only able to spend one day (or even just a couple of evenings) watching sessions and engaging online with CppCon attendees in our awesome virtual venue. Early access to session videos is just an amazing bonus.

Don’t let COVID deprive you of the opportunity to engage with the C++ community in 2021!

In any case, you can register now to lock in the Early Bird rate. We look forward to seeing many of you in person or online at CppCon 2021 for what will surely be one of the most memorable CppCons ever.

Opening Keynote: Bjarne Stroustrup, live in person

From the article:

CppCon 2021 will kick off on Monday, October 25 with Bjarne Stroustrup delivering the opening keynote live in person in Aurora, Colorado, USA. This is Stroustrup’s first in-person talk in North America since C++20 was completed, just before the pandemic lockdowns began. His talk connects C++’s roots with all the things that make C++20 a historic milestone – it’s not only the biggest release of C++ in a decade, but also the first edition of Standard C++ ever that is “D&E-complete,” containing all of the features (except only unified function call syntax) that Stroustrup described a quarter-century ago in The Design and Evolution of C++ as his goals for C++’s future development, including concepts, coroutines, and modules which in 2021 are for the first time now available as actual realities in production C++ compilers.

CppCon 2021 is proud to be the forum for Dr. Stroustrup’s landmark talk, which he describes as follows: ...
