The ACCU 2020 is now putting together its program, and they want you to speak on C++. The ACCU has strong C++ tracks, though it is not a C++-only conference. If you have something to share, check out their
Call for Proposals
by the ACCU
About the conference:
Historically, ACCU has a lot of C++ and C content, and is proud of that: ACCU is the foremost annual conference for people interested in C++ and C, at least in and around the UK. But it is not just a C++ and C conference, ACCU is about programming in whatever language people are using, with whatever tools and processes people are using: D, Chapel, Java, Kotlin, C#, F#, Groovy, Rust, Go, Python, Ruby, Lisp, to name just a few programming languages about which there have been sessions at ACCU conferences. Git, Mercurial, CMake, Meson, TDD, BDD, allthese tools and techniques have been the focus of sessions at ACCU. The ACCU Conference is looking for sessions that will be interesting to people who create software.The ACCU Conference is put on by ACCU (https://accu.org), but is open to anyone who wishes to be there either as a presenter or an attender.
The Call for Papers lasts for about 3 weeks and will close on Friday 2019-10-25 23:59+01:00.

Milestone | New Home | Trip Reports
by Jon Kalb
From the article:
CppCon 2019 was the first year in our new home at the Gaylord Rockies in Aurora, Colorado.
Long before I’d ever done it, I told people that I thought that moving a conference is almost as much work as starting one from scratch. Now that I have moved a conference, I’ve learned that started a conference from scratch is actually easier than moving that conference after it has been growing in one location for five years...

If you live in the area.
Join the Maryland C++ User Group
From the article:
After looking for and failing to find a C++ user group in Maryland, I decided to start one. If you live in the Baltimore/DC/NoVA area, use C++ for work or pleasure, and are interested in attending monthly-ish meetings related to C++, please join the meetup group at https://meetup.com/CppMaryland/. Topics for discussion will include current (C++11/14/17) features, the upcoming C++20 standard, build tools, standard containers and algorithms, design patterns, and pretty much anything else that might benefit a C++ developer...

C++ Russia 2019 Piter will be held in Saint-Petersburg, October 31 – November 1, 2019.
C++ Russia 2019
From the article:
Two days, three tracks and dozens of in-depth technical talks about C++: concurrency, performance, architecture, environment — all you need to make your code perfect.
Keynote by Sean Parent, Eric Niebler and Ivan Čukić.
Also at the conference: Marshall Clow, Björn Fahller, Maxim Khizhinsky, Hana Dusíková, Rainer Grimm and many others.
C++ Russia is not only the talks but also networking with hundreds of colleagues from Russia and Europe. Due to dedicated discussion zones, all the speakers have after their talks, all the questions will be answered.And in the evening you can participate in BoF-sessions where the most uncommon ideas are born.
Fourteen talks will be entirely in English.

What do you think about it?
De-fragmenting C++: Making Exceptions and RTTI More Affordable and Usable
by Herb Sutter
From the video:
A fundamental reason why C++ is successful and loved is its adherence to Stroustrup’s zero-overhead principle: You don’t pay for what you don’t use, and if you do use a feature you can’t reasonably code it better by hand. In the C++ language itself, there are only two features that violate the zero-overhead principle, exception handling and RTTI – and, unsurprisingly, these are also the only two C++ language features that every C++ compiler has switches to turn off and that are regularly discouraged or even banned. This matters because not using these features is the largest current cause of fragmentation of the C++ community into incompatible dialects, and the cause of recurring problems including type confusion security vulnerabilities arising from “didn’t down-cast using dynamic_cast because that would be too slow.” This talk is about ongoing long-term efforts to try to unify the community in this area, not by replacing exceptions and RTTI, but by doubling down: fully embracing exceptions and RTTI, and improving them so they can be zero-overhead too.
