What Else Is At C++Online?

At C++Online, we will be running 3 tracks on the 11th - 13th March from 12:00 - 22:00 UTC each day. Along with the keynotes, the 3 track will also host...

  • 22 Breakout Sessions - We will have 22 breakout sessions from experienced C++ speakers including Kevlin Henney, Dave Rowland, Roi Barkan, Amir Kirsh and more! From coroutines, software design, safety and algorithms, there is something for everyone and these sessions also cater to different levels of C++ experience from someone who is just starting out to a veteran in the software development industry.
  • Workshop Taster Sessions - These sessions will provide attendees with a preview of the post conference workshops. Tasters WILL be included in main conference registrations, whereas as the full post conference workshops will require separate registrations (but your conference registration will be discounted from your booking price for the first workshop you purchase)

  • Open Content Sessions - These are talks and/or social events ran by C++Online attendees and that are on broader subjects. Some of these are from speakers who we couldn't accept into the main program.
    • Types of content include:
      • Presentations/Demos - Some attendees will be sharing their expertise or demoing their latest project in Zoom Webinar.
      • Community Driven Meetup & Social Events - Other attendees will be bringing people together through meetups & social events. Past examples have included
