Poster Submissions

Introduction and Call for Posters

CppCon is pleased to announce its first Poster Session, with the objective to foster conversation around the multitude of exciting projects, approaches, design patterns, and integrations that the C++ community is engaged in.

The purpose is to get the conversation going!

We invite poster submissions that report on measurable work (e.g. implementation, benchmarking, technical analysis, etc) done by the presenting team. The work must have technical contribution with a strong C++ focus. Examples of such contributions include:

Report/demo of a C++ library written by the presenters, and the problems it addresses.
A comparative survey on C++ tools (e.g. profilers/testing tools).
A new approach or design pattern to known use cases.

For suggestions on topics, please refer to the talk Submission Page.

We are happy to accept high quality work in progress and late breaking work.

We welcome CppCon session speakers to submit a poster to supplement their talk, or to give their talk greater visibility. The poster and talk title must be the same.

Submission

Submit an abstract no longer than three pages, containing the following sections:

Introduction (required): Title and brief overview of what the poster reports on.
Relevance (required): Why the work is interesting, and what problems it addresses.
Discussion (required): Technical description of the presented topic.
Completion status (required): Work that has been completed, and work that is expected to be completed before the poster presentation at CppCon.
Supporting Material: If applicable, results and references to work, for example, GitHub.

Poster presenter(s) must also submit a brief bio of the presenter(s).
