For 2022, CppCon Academy will offer some classes that are onsite-only and some classes that are online-only. There will be no mixed onsite-and-online classes.

For individuals whose organization requires it, a certificate of completion is available for classes attended. For information contact the conference registrar.

Class and conference registration are separate. Attendees can register for either one or both. Class sizes are limited and may sell out.

Onsite Classes

Onsite classes will be held at the Gaylord Rockies September 10-11 (pre-conference) and/or September 17-18. Classes are from 09:00 to 17:00 Aurora time (MDT) with breaks and lunch included, except for Patrice Roy’s post-conference class which has slightly different hours. Two-day classes will be held either the weekend immediately before or immediately after the conference. We have a single four-day class that will be held during both weekends.

Online Classes

Online classes will have hours and breaks as arranged by the individual instructors, but in general will be held from 09:00 to 15:00 Aurora time (MDT). Due to the shorter number of hours per day, (all but one) online classes will be held across three days instead of two. Pre-conference online classes will be held on the three business days (W-F), the week before the conference. Post-conference classes will be held on the three business days (M-W), the week following the conference (M-W). Nicolai Josuttis’ Advanced Modern C++ Programming: The Tricky Parts is an exception. It is online, but scheduled like an onsite class.

Privacy Notice

In order to facilitate communications preparing students for class sessions, we share class attendee email addresses with instructors (and vice versa). By default we use the email address that you use for registration. If you’d like to use a different email address for the class than what you use for registration, please contact the conference registrar.
