CppCon is the largest annual gathering for the entire C++ community. The conference is organized by the C++ community and will attract a diverse group of attendees that are using C++ on a wide range of platforms/toolchains.
Exhibiting at CppCon is an opportunity to engage and interact with C++ developers when they are not distracted by work issues and are focusing on new ideas about how to do their jobs better.
Note we have a different prospectus for Sponsoring which focuses on raising your company’s visibility to the C++ community.

Qualifying Exhibitors
CppCon is a conference for professional C++ developers and we only accept exhibitors that are interested in engaging with attendees in that role. (Please no vacation timeshare offers.)
Exhibitors are expected to conduct themselves in a manner appropriate for a conference of professionals. Please be considerate with regard to noise and good taste and be mindful of the conference’s code of conduct.
Options
CppCon offers two levels of exhibiting: 6′ tables and 12’ by 10’ booths. (The 12’ width is a change from previous years, which featured 10’ width.) While space remains available, exhibitors can choose to exhibit all five conference days, or any subset they choose.
Booths
A CppCon booth exhibitor is given space for a 12’ x 10’ booth. Larger (wider) booths are available in 12’ increments. The rate scales linearly with size.
Each booth is piped and draped with 3’ side drape and 8’ rear drape.
For booth exhibitors, we grant up to five exhibitor passes that are good for the days that the booth space is reserved. Please contact us if you feel you need more passes.
Booth exhibitors are also allowed two ads in the Sponsor Job Board channel in the CppCon Discord.
Tables [Sold Out]
A CppCon table exhibitor is given a 6′ x 30″ table in a traffic area used by attendees during breaks.
For table exhibitors, we grant up to three exhibitor passes that are good for the days the table space is reserved. Please contact us if you feel you need more passes.
Onsite Details
Badge scanning: Onsite attendee badges will have a QR code on the reverse side with the attendee’s name and email. This is a standard QR code encoding so no special QR code software is needed, just standard QR code scanning software will work, but you’ll want something that collects the data scanned. Here are some links with information (we don’t recommend any particular software): Socio, EventRebels, and EventX.
Both booths and tables have access to power. Exhibitor should use hotel guest room wifi or contact us for information about other arrangements.
You will be able to put up banners, posters, or flyers near your table and you’ll have access to the conference’s literature table.
If you are interested in conducting a session, contact us about scheduling an Open Content session and for information about having it recorded.

Sponsorship
Exhibiting and sponsorships are separate at CppCon. A company may choose to do one and not the other or both. As noted above, exhibitors that are also sponsors, may request exhibitor pass upgrades.
