cppcon-093.PNG Have you registered yet for CppCon 2016? With 93 days to go before the event, we have more attendees already registered than ever before at this point before the conference. They got the Early Bird discount, and so can you for another two weeks.

In addition to 5 great keynote and plenary talks, you'll enjoy 100+ of the top C++ sessions in the world -- the program committee has been sorting through some 200 session submissions and will soon announce their selection of this year's "100+ best of 2016" that will be accepted for the event. CppCon also offers two-day pre-conference classes, panels, poster sessions, lightning talks, and much more. New this year: an exhibitors' area where you can see and try the latest C++ tools and libraries. And of course, as always, a huge part of the event is the week-long interaction with fellow attendees, making CppCon the best learning and networking opportunity for C++ developers across all industries and disciplines in a relaxed and inviting festival atmosphere.

To see what others have had to say about CppCon, check out the attendee video, featuring a soundtrack of original music written and performed by the CppCon house band. And check out the video archive of 2014 and 2015 talks on YouTube and on Channel 9.

CppCon is "the" C++ event of the year. Early Bird registration closes on July 1. If you haven't registered yet, register today!

From the article:

After two years of meetups and participations in Italy, last Saturday we had more than 100 people attending (130+ registered people – ~22% drop) the first edition of the Italian C++ Conference, in Milan, our new free event fully focused on C++. Hosted by “Bicocca” University and sponsored by RogueWave Software, we delivered 5×60′ technical sessions, 1×30′ sponsor demo session and 1×40′ Q/A panel. It has been a great day!...

C++Now 2016 trip report

by Vittorio Romeo

From the article:

I am very happy to have been part of the C++Now conference for another year, and I hope that I'll be able to come back in the future.

This year, I participated both as a speaker and as a Student/Volunteer.

The experience was, again, simply fantastic: I spent four days in a beautiful location, attended some of the most technically advanced and innovative C++ talks and, most importantly, had the occasion to meet a lot of amazing people.

As a Student/Volunteer, my tasks included: recording the talks, helping during the lunch break/picnic, assisting speakers during sessions and generally helping attendees when possible.

I'd like to thank Jon Kalb, Bryce Lelbach, and the rest of conference staff for making my participation possible.

In this trip report, I'll briefly describe some of my favorite talks and what I have learned from them, then introduce my sessions...

Schedule for ACCU 2016 has been published

By Mantosh Kumar | Apr 17, 2016 09:45 PM | Tags: None

The schedule for the annual ACCU Conference has just been published. The conference will be held at Marriott Hotel  City Centre, in Bristol, UK, on April 19-23, 2016. The conference is focused on professionalism in programming, but as always the schedule contains a lot of talks about C++.

 

ACCU is a small and friendly conference, typically 400+ attendees living together in the same hotel for a week discussing everything about programming. Most of the talks(60+) are 90 minutes, with long breaks inbetween, inviting to deep and insightful discussions both during and after the sessions. If you are into programming, especially C++, this is a conference that you might want to consider.
