CppCon 2024 Attendance Support Ticket program

Again this year, CppCon is running an Attendance Support Ticket program. These free tickets are for people who would not be able to attend otherwise. This program is limited to conference tickets and doesn’t include support for transportation or lodging. This is an open program, but reasons to apply may include financial assistance, that you are part of an underrepresented group in tech, and others.

In order to apply for this program, please fill in the application form here. The application deadline is June 27, 2024. Decisions will be sent by July 1.

We look forward to seeing many of you again this year at CppCon 2024!

CppCon 2024 – Call for Volunteers

Volunteer at CppCon 2024!

Are you passionate about C++ and looking to dive deeper into the community? Whether you’re a seasoned developer, a student, or just passionate about technology, we welcome you to join us in bringing this dynamic C++ conference to life. This is your chance to experience the conference without the cost of registration.

What Does Volunteering Involve?
Volunteers play a crucial role in a variety of tasks. Some examples:

  • Assembling registration packets and badges
  • Assisting with speaker and attendee registration
  • Helping with audio/visual needs
  • Making session announcements
  • Managing information desks
  • Helping attendees with questions
  • And more!

Why Volunteer?
Volunteering at CppCon is a unique opportunity to:

  • Attend talks and sessions at no cost
  • Meet and interact with speakers and attendees
  • Gain a new perspective on how tech conferences operate
  • Contribute meaningfully to the C++ community

Whether you are attending a conference for the first time or are a seasoned attendee, volunteering offers a fresh and rewarding experience. You’ll have ample time to attend sessions, with at least half your volunteering time spent in them.

Availability:
We appreciate it if you are able to join us for several days, but even if you can only make it for a single day, there are opportunities for you. Volunteers available on the weekend prior to the conference can also assist with important preparatory tasks.

CppCon 2024 Call for Submissions – Embedded Track

The call for submissions for the Embedded Track at CppCon 2024 is now open! Check out the submissions page so you don’t miss your chance to share your team’s latest successes and discoveries in embedded software development!

CppCon’s Embedded Track is a meeting place where programmers specializing in embedded systems can come together with the larger C++ community to learn from each other.

Embedded systems is an increasingly broad area of computing, covering handheld devices, safety-critical systems like autonomous cars, and highly-specialized systems like satellites, not to mention the hardware devices used to build other computing systems. Possible topics include (but certainly aren’t limited to):

  • Working with real-time operating systems
  • Device drivers
  • Hardware simulation
  • Safety-critical systems
  • Techniques for improving execution time
  • Techniques for minimizing overhead
  • Unique security concerns (e.g., securing mobile devices)
  • C/C++ libraries focused on resource-constrained systems
  • Case studies and post-mortems on embedded systems

Submission deadline is May 19, 2024. Please remember to note that your submission is targeting the Embedded Track in the Comments section of the submission form.
