The CppCon Tooling Track is open for submissions!

Because C++ includes much more than the language itself, CppCon is excited to offer a Tooling Track at CppCon 2024! The Tooling Track is an explicit place to make room for talks about C++ tools and the C++ ecosystem.

Why give tooling talks? The C++ community wants and needs them! Users want to hear the best and latest about a wide range of tooling-related topics, including:

• Managing dependencies
• Improving build times
• Debugging their projects
• Enhancing their continuous integration enrollments
• Configuring their build systems
• Mastering their IDEs and editors
• Interoperation with other languages
• Understanding their compilation toolchains

What should the talks be about? More or less, if it’s a talk for C++ engineers but not about software theory or the C++ language itself, it’s probably a talk about the C++ ecosystem, and therefore is welcome in the CppCon Tooling Track.

Who should submit? You! Previous talks from the perspectives of thoughtful users have been very well-reviewed and accepted in the past.

Of course, the Tooling Track is a place for industry experts and maintainers of widely adopted C++ tools as well. It is an excellent way for C++ tool vendors and advocates to raise awareness for the projects they are excited to share. CppCon is a great opportunity to get out from behind the ticket trackers and meet face-to-face with current and potential end users!

If you would like to submit a talk to the CppCon 2024 Tooling Track, follow the instructions at the wider CppCon 2024 Call for Submissions and be sure to mark Tooling as a target track.
