Thanks for your interest in presenting at CppCon. In addition to the regular program, we have two other ways to present: Lightning Talks and Open Content Sessions. These opportunities are open to anyone in the C++ community, even if you are not registered to attend CppCon.

The Call for Lightning Talks will open shortly before CppCon.

Open Content Sessions

Open Content Sessions can be 45, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. They are not recorded, but they do appear in the conference program, just like our regular sessions. These talks are non-prime time (morning, lunch, evening). Most software or C++ adjacent topics are allowed.  All submissions will be screened for suitability.

• Did your talk not get selected, but you still want to present it?
• Do you want to talk about your poster?
• Have more material than what will fit in your regular session?
• Want to give a series of training lectures or workshops?

You can present a lecture, a demo, a workshop, record a podcast with an audience, host a panel, round table, “birds of a feather” type meeting, or even a pub trivia style night.

All presenters and content must comply with the CppCon Code of Conduct.

If you plan to present, please review our information for CppCon presenters.

If you have questions about Open Content sessions, please send mail to: Open Content.

If you’d like to make a CppCon submission, please complete CppCon Open Content Submission form.  You will be notified of Receipt of your submission, on acceptance, and when scheduled.  We will contact you if there is a time conflict.
